Spybot-S&D

What is Spybot Search & Destroy?

Spybot Search & Destroy is one of the best "privacy software" packages available for Windows. This software is one of many spyware / adware / malware removal tools. EMU recommends all residents use Spybot-S&D in addition to virus scanning software, a personal firewall, and other spyware removal tools (such as Ad-aware).

Ok, What's it cost?

Spybot-S&D is available as a free download. The creator does ask that if you like it you donate, but has not made it shareware.

Why do you recommend more than just Spybot S&D?

Unfortunately in this day and age there are lots of threats to your computer out on the web. Spybot-S&D catches many of the adware, spyware, and malware programs, but it doesn't catch everything. Using multiple tools together will help keep your computer safe while connected to the Internet.
