SpyBot Search And Destroy Review

Posted on 9:02 PM by Unknown


There are a lot of dedicated users of Spybot search and destroy, and that is because this is the only program that offers very powerful real time protection that is compatible with any antivirus. Not to mention that this program is a legend it was one of the first anti spyware programs on the market and they educated what spyware was because it was such a new idea. But you will learn why it is that I use the real time protection of Spybot search & destroy. So I will go into all of the features below.

Features

System Scan: This is really obvious Spybot will scan your entire computer for spyware with a fairly quick scan time. My first scan took about 16 minutes for a full scan which is a pretty good time. 
File Scan: This will allow you to select certain files to scan. You can even scan by right clicking on the file like any antivirus product.
Immunization: This is part of the real time protection modules that are included in Spybot this is one of the features that Spybot has over its competitors. It will allow you to put walls to block security holes in your browser or other application. This is currently only available for internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox.
Statistics: This basically shows you what your system scan logs have collected.

Update: If you can't figure this one out I will be a little scared. But in all seriousness this will allow you to update your program. When it goes through you will see it has 86 logs. That does not mean it has only been updated 86 times. That just shows the certain files that each contain their own information. 

Quarantine: This is where you can modify all of your quarantined files. 

Create Report: This will allow you to create a full report by combing your scan logs into one giant report. This is really only useful for a business, but I am sure one of you guys will find a way to use it.

Secure Shredder: This will delete the file multiple times so that there are no remains of the file to retrieve. 

Settings: These are the settings that control the entire program you can change certain security applications of the program but don't mess with these settings unless you know what you are doing. I have mine modified but don't mess with them unless you know what you are doing. 

Rootkit Scan: This will scan your system for rootkits which are a nasty form of malware that are hard to detect and remove. I will leave it at that but there will be a future post explaining rootkits in great detail. 

Startup Tools: This will speed up your start up and can help to determine if there is malware that starts up with your system. 

System Repair: This can repair inconsistencies with your system and repair issues that it finds.
Paid Version Only

Phone Scan: This can scan your iPhone apps and determine if they have a valid license.

Repair Environment: This can repair issues with your system if it is infected or repair issues with Spybot its self. 

Boot CD Creator: This allows you to create a CD that can run Spybot before the system launched to scan for malware.

OpenSBI Editor: DON'T TOUCH THIS! You don't need this tool only use if you are a professional.
Scripting: Again you will not need this unless you are a professional or you are very skilled.

Summary:

 Spybot Search And Destroy was one of the original antispyware programs and the reason that I recommend it is because of its amazing real time protection. You can't get this without paying for a super anti spyware license. Not to mention the fact that the company is still very dedicated to the product and they do not want to see it go. I say if you are looking for something to work in conjunction with your antivirus.
