Spybot is a free anti spyware utility from http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html. The program scans, cleans, and protects your computer from spyware attacks. If your computer is staggering under the weight of too much spyware – this might be the one of the best free solutions around.

Other spyware removal programs I have mentioned in the past include Spyware Terminator, SUPERAntiSpyware, Hijack This, and Ad-Aware. All of these programs are very good for protecting your computer from spyware.

To check your system from problems, click the Check for problems button to scan your computer.

After scanning the computer for problems, select the items you want to fix in the results window and click the Fix selected problems button.

The recovery section stores the backups created by the program. You have the option to restore these backup or restore selected items and delete backup files.

The immunize section configures your browser to block potentially harmful stuffs from the web. Harmful stuffs include executable files. Click the immunize button to apply protection to your system.
