What does SpyBot Search & Destroy?
SpyBot S&D searches your hard disk for so-called spy – or adbots; little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs show. But many of these modules also transmit information about your surfing behaviour and more to the net. If SpyBot S&D finds such modules, it can remove them – or replace them with empty dummies in case their host won’t work any more with its bot removed. In most cases, the host software still runs after removing the bot. SpyBot S&D works with an easy interface that allows updates by just replacing a file of about 1k size.
