Spybot Search and Destroy (SBSD) is one of the most popular free anti-spyware softwares available on the web. We have downloaded it and it found spyware that other versions have missed, although most where harmless cookies and the like.

Most reviews of SBSD show that this free anti-spyware software is liked by most techies, but most seem to agree it should be used in conjunction with other anti-spyware. We recommend this as well.

Just as with other free software, like free anti-virus software, we install different versions on our computers and run scans using all, once a week. However, I recommend only running one software version at a time.

As with the free anti-virus software we covered last week, give yourself some time for the scan to run using SBSD.

Here is your download link and ensure you run updates after downloading. This will also be added to our free package at the end of this series about free software.


After you download and install, we recommend you view the embedded video. We followed the video step by step and it is very good and will help tremendously. Don’t panic if his screen for Spybot S&D is a little different, you still have the same options as the video shows. Watch it, pause it, execute the steps and continue until finished.
