One other thing I like about spybot is the immunization feature. Adaware is the second best but I'm not sure if it's as reliable as spybot. It also doesn't annoy me as much as webroot spysweeper with all their notifications that I didn't have the option to turn off. I've tried various other spyware programs before such as webroot spysweeper or adaware but I always come back to spybot because it's reliable and it doesn't hog the system resource as much as the others do. I have been using this program for at least ten years already and I think I'll continue to stick to it.

I hope that, some day soon, I will be able to donate to Spybot because I have a great deal of gratitude for their program.

I am glad that the company hates spyware and malware as much as the rest of us and is showing goodwill by offering it to others, free of charge. If I ever do make a lot of money, I would not hesitate to donate to Spybot so that other people who cannot afford good spyware/malware protection can keep benefiting from this great program. I have never had a lot of money to spend on preventing and/or getting rid of spyware or malware, so for me, this has been a life saver. If you check for updates several times a week, immunize before you go online (every time) and perform regular scans as Spybot recommends, you will save a lot of money and be spyware and malware free. I absolutely love it because it is free, easy to use and it works! I like the fact that I can immunize prior to going online and prevent some problems before they have a chance to wreck havoc on my computer system. I have been using Spybot Search and Destroy for several years. True Spybot Search And Destroy is Free and it Works!

I have since upgraded to Windows 8.1, and did not at that time find a version that runs on that system, but I hope to soon. I have not as yet heard of a version for my Macs and definitely none for my Linux computers, but if I use WINE, I could then run Spybot when running Windows programs under Linux.

I seem to get updates pretty regularly, which i take as a good sign that the program will continue to recognize new threats. But I do use large hard drives, so i expect the program to need time, and I do want ti to do the scan correctly, so I don't mind a few minutes of necessary time. It's not all that fast, but not so slow that it takes a half hour. I was able to use this program as a newbie, and its instructions are straightforward. Other than that, the program has kept my Windows machines clean for years. Once, it did not detect a trojan that I was told that I had, but oddly enough, actual trojan detection programs did not find it either. I have used this program to protect my Windows machines from adware, viruses, and rootkits for many years and am a highly satisfied customer.
