Who needs the feature-laden functionality of Spybot- Search and Destroy other than people who actually enjoy searching for different types of spyware? I would rather have the software do the thinking for me. Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware also defends against more programs than Spybot anyway, so the choice is obvious.

I have been a computer tech for over 8 years and seen the rise and fall of many programs on the market. I find that ad-aware used to be good, but when I compare the results of malwarebytes against the rest, they don’t stand a chance.

Its possible that its the best fit for my clients, but hands down they are GOOD! There facebook Fan page is 4000 strong!

Ahh, you can keep this trash. I tried this out a couple of months ago and it missed a lot of things that Ad-Aware caught. And, when I tested it against a few very nasty trojans, it broke. I just laughed and sent it to the trash bin, where it belongs. Don’t even bother.

database at gt500 is out of date – v1954 whereas current (by automatic update, as of 2009-04-19 1400 EDT) is v2009. any idea where/how to get the *actual* current db to do a manual update?

I found Malwarebytes when searching for a solution
being infected with spyware of wich I don’t remember the name.
Did a great job, free, fast and efficient.
Since then, I use the protection that automatically loads with windows and never got infected again.
The only downside is that you have to manually look for updates. I imagine that one is not protected as much as he would think if the program has not been updated recently. A little surprising for such a good program.

Still … my preferred

Agreed. It’s always good to have a few cleaners handy. This along with SAS and a few other specific tools works great for me in most all situations.

I haven’t used Spybot for years. I totally agree that it’s just too bloated now.

…And obviously this does NOT replace any good antivirus app.
