Anti-SpywareSpybot's Anti-Spyware protection uses our unique technology to find and remove all kinds of spyware, including adware, tracking software, keyloggers and other unpopular software. Your privacy is our ultimate goal! |
Anti-VirusTo provide you with the best possible protection, we've included an award winning anti-virus engine. It's the engine of choice of the best rated anti-virus products on AV-Test and AV comparatives. And on top of that most elaborate malware protection, you get our own specialized anti-spyware engine that covers the spyware grounds beyond! |
Live ProtectionLive Protection is Spybots form of real time protection. Live protection scans and monitors all newly created and running processes on your system. Malicious processes are blocked before they start to prevent infection on your system. |
Anti-BeaconOur anti-telemetry tool Anti-Beacon Plus is available to all users of the Spybot Professional and the commercial editions. |
System ImmunizationImmunization pro-actively protects your system against malware attacks by blocking access to sites known to contain malicious or unwanted software. It also blocks tracking cookies and browser plugins that are known to contain malware. Immunization supports many popular browsers, including Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Chrome. |
Startup ToolsStartup Tools allow you to manage what happens and what gets loaded at system startup. If you open this tool you will see a comprehensive set of tabs. Clicking on a tab will allow you to inspect and change the behaviour of what is loaded. This powerful tool should be used with caution as it allows you to make registry changes as well as other changes that effect your system. It can be useful if you suspect changes may have been made without your knowledge. |
Rootkit ScanRootkits use technologies to hide themselves and their actions from users and other system processes. The Rootkit Scan is a special scan that can locate these rootkits. This scan includes checks of the file system, the registry and some process related lists. |
Automatic Signature UpdatesStaying up to date with all malware signatures is essential for your security. All paid editions of Spybot will download new signatures multiple times per day - automatically and in the background. |
Task SchedulingIf you have purchased Spybot you have the advantage of being able to automate tasks. Using the Schedule option in Advanced Tools → Settings Spybot can create a Windows Scheduler task to keep your Spybot up to date, immunized and run system scans regularly. |
Protected Repair EnvironmentWhen you choose the Protected Repair Environment, a new Windows Desktop is opened and the Start Center runs in a way so that other software cannot interact with it. This prevents keyloggers and other malware taking over control of Spybot, using the same security desktop separation technology that the Windows Login screen and the User Account Control dialogs use. |
System Registry RepairMost registry cleaner software promises to speed up your system which is not really possible. These cleaners may also come with unwanted additions such as adware or spyware. Our System Registry Repair allows you to do some basic cleanup and repair in a number of categories where changes might positively affect user experience, for instance helping Windows find misplaced Help files. It can either delete or repair broken entries by offering you you the options, for example, of locating or searching for files that have been moved. |
Priority SupportBeside the standard support options we at Safer-Networking Ltd. strive to support you in case of questions or problems. So if need help, do not hesitate to use our contact page! |
Secure ShredderThe Secure Shredder is a tool to safely remove files from magnetic hard drives. It uses multiple passes to make sure the files cannot be recovered. |
Script EditorIf you are familiar with a common programming language you might want to define some detection patterns yourself. Just to get rid of some unwanted files or any item you regard as malware. This is not too complex when using our OpenSBI syntax and Pascal. A simple script that you could implement using a simple .sbi file might look like this: |
Command Line ToolsThe system administrator may schedule tasks and use Command Line Parameters or even Command Line Tools to perform different tasks without user interaction. Powershell Scripts or Batch Files may help and the Windows scheduler can support special tasks as well. Command Line Tools are available for:
|
FileAlyzerFileAlyzer is a tool to analyze files. It shows basic file content, a hex viewer, and a range of customized displays for interpreted file structures. It also supports generation of OpenSBI advanced file parameters. |
The Settings tool allows you to customise Spybot to suit your preferences. You can ‘fine tune’ Language, Live Protection, Scheduling of scans and updates, System Services and even Ignore Lists, to suit your requirements.

Simple but revolutionary software that is a pleasure to work with. After installation 1st thing to do is to immunize a PC, only after that you can go with all other interesting options.
Pros: Host File Protection, Browser Guards, Realtime Spyware and Malware Protection, Process Control, Deep System Scanning, and many others you normally wouldn’t find in a traditional security software suite.
Cons: The only con I can rightly say is that it consumes a lot of system resources and some of the scans can take a while, depending on the size of your system and the configurations of the scan you choose.
Summary: This is a robust security application that is an excellent supplement to existing security software and especially useful for those whom still use the Internet Explorer browser, because of the protections it offers, including that of the host file as well as a user’s homepage.
Even if you don’t want to pay for the full version, the free version is still worth the download and is a formidable contender in the world of antimalware software.
Love Spybot 2.0. After 2 weeks of struggling trying to remove Coupon Dropdown, I finally tried Spybot 2.0 and it was the only one that worked--after trying Malwarebytes anti-Malware, McAfee and many others.

Spybot Free Edition is a classic antispyware and anti-malware tool. It can detect and remove most infections and actively protect and repair the registry. It can delete your surfing traces and protect you from persistent cookies. (Tracking Cookies)
If you still have problems with the operation or installation, please contact the forum or the FAQ. Support languages are German and English. See below for installation instructions.
Please deactivate your antivirus program for the time of installation. This is necessary because many of the current antivirus programs acknowledge the installation of Spybot S&D with a false alarm or block it directly. However, since Spybot must be able to scan and clean your computer up to root level for you, we have to intervene very deeply in the registry during installation.
You don’t have to turn off your firewall unless Spybot S&D wants to download current updates from the network. In this case you must allow Spybot S&D access to the Internet in your firewall.
Updates are released at least once a week. In case of very bad, current infections 2-3 times a week.
The Spybot S&D team wishes you every success in cleaning your computer.
… and tell your friends about us!
Or whether you want to configure it yourself. We recommend that Spybot does everything for you.
We recommend: Leave everything as it is. That’s the spirit.
Click on “Update”.
Note: In rare cases (depending on the infection) it may happen that Spybot does not complete the update process. Close the program and restart your computer. Then restart the program and click on Update.
If you do not see the icon with the Rootkit scan, switch to the Advanced-User Mode in the lower left corner.
Now delete the temporary Internet files (see 1.) and start the scan. (See 2.)
Attention: Depending on the system and the degree of infection, a scan can take several hours.
Select which malware threats you want to delete from your computer. Sometimes Spybot also asks you to restart.
