Spybot Search & Destroy (S&D) is a popular proprietary spyware and adware removal program compatible with Microsoft Windows 95 and later. It detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Along with spyware and adware detection and disinfection capabilities, Spybot-S&D can repair the Registry, Winsock LSPs, ActiveX objects, browser hijackers and BHOs, PUPS, computer cookies, trackerware, heavy duty, homepage hijackers, keyloggers, LSP, tracks, trojans, spybots, revision, and other kinds of malware. It can also to some extent protect a user's privacy by deleting usage tracks like tracking cookies. Spybot-S&D also includes an "Immunize" feature to block the installation of spyware before it occurs e.g. by modifying the hosts file. Another tool included in Spybot-S&D is a file shredder, for the secure deletion of files. Spybot-S&D is not intended to replace anti-virus programs, but it does detect some common trojans. It can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you have been working on. And for professional users, Spybot-S&D allows you to fix some registry inconsistencies and extended reports. Recently, Spybot-S&D also added an anti-rootkit function. To see a list of threats Spybot-S&D can remove, in the navigation bar at the left click on Support then Threats.
