Spyware and Adware are not only an ever increasing nuisance for computer users everywhere, but also a booming industry. According to online sources, the distribution of online advertisements through spyware and adware has become a $2 billion industry.
The aggressive advertising and spying tactics demonstrated by some of these programs, require an equally aggressive response from a seasoned eradicator. This is where Spybot S&D rides in to save the day.
Spybot is designed to detect and remove spyware that is already in your computer system. Additionally, it provides real-time protection while preventing browser hijacking and changes to your computer’s Registry.
Here is information taken from the website
Overview
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
All in all, Spybot is a great spyware solution for any user, be them beginner, intermediate or advanced. Best of all, ITS FREEEEE!!!!! So for persons like me who don’t believe in paying for software when you can get alternatives for free, this is right up your alley.
