"Spybot is a good solution when you are stuck with a pesky virus"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SpyBot?

I like that the Search and Destroy product has become a formal A/V solution. It allows for a thorough scan and removal of virus' and malware. The UI is easy to use and installation is simply and quick. Removal is just as easy if you do not want it to conflict with another A/V or A/M solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

I wish the free version offered a little more functionality. I use the free version if I am stuck in a pickle. It compliments my other A/V and A/M solutions quite well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Spybot - more than just a malware search and destroy utility"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SpyBot?

Spybot Search & Destroy has been available for a number of years and the feature set has expanded along with its tenure. Being able to automate the functionality of the program in the paid version is a big plus over the free version. I especially like the "immunization" feature of Spybot which updates your hosts file with names of websites which have been known to house malware. If you add your own sites to this file and Spybot updates the hosts file, your additions are not removed or edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

I would like to see the free version have the ability to be automated from within the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

The lack of antivirus for the personal use Spybot version can seem a bit unwelcome, but bundling Windows Defender along with Spybot tends to make up for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good spyware program! "
3.5/5
What do you like best about SpyBot?

The program updates and spyware databases are always updated and current! It picks up some spyware others don't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

Nothing against Spybot, but I literally use three different spyware programs to keep me covered. All of them seem to pick up some things and not others. This is the case with Spybot as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

" It is essential in our computer."
5/5
What do you like best about SpyBot?

can be downloaded for free in its free version, and its main task is to detect and remove corrupt files, suspicious or spyware robots, which can be harmful to our computer.

The design of this program is really simple, with practically four buttons, to do everything, but still, it has many options.

What most attracts the attention of the program, at least to me, is the possibility of configuring it in several languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SpyBot?

They should add other skins.

and it has a relatively high Ram Consumption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
