Geek Software of the Week: Spybot 2.4! (Update)
This is a first! I am posting an update of SpyBot, which I have mentioned before, because it is a very different, and improved product!
“Why use the Free Edition?
If all you require is to be able to scan and remove malware and rootkits from your system. Or if you want to protect your PC by immunizing your browser and hosts file, the ‘Free Edition’ is the choice for you. If you are a more experienced user you can also check various ‘autostart’ locations using the ‘Startup Tools’. Spybot 2 can scan single files or specific folders and unlike other software it doesn’t matter if the file is located on your local drives or on a network share. Spybot 2 comes with its own whitelist which helps to identify if files are legitimate or not. This useful addition helps to speed up the scan. Even though this fully functioning product is free of charge you can still get free support by emailing our support team.
For home users who want spyware protection for their own or their families Windows based Personal Computers and do not need additional antivirus protection.
Users manually look after own updating.
Can be upgraded to the ‘Home Edition’ if required.”
