Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3 BETA 6

Thanks OPaul for this. Spybot Search and Destroy searches your hard drive for so-called spy- or adbots; that is, little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs display. Many of these modules also transmit information, including your surfing behavior on the Internet. If it finds such modules, it can remove them. In most cases the host still runs fine after removing the spyware/adware.

Another feature is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it more complicated for unknown spybots to transmit useful data. The list of last visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies, all that and more can be cleaned. Supported are the three major browsers Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator, and Opera. Here is the list of changes in this version:

  • Integration of BrowserManager for spyware detection

  • Fixed Settings showing on automated program start

  • Multiple instances of a process will now be correctly terminated

  • Scheduler now passes correct CLPs

  • Confirmation after successful bug report send added

  • Donation button removed if using IUServer

  • New hosts file (in use by updated hosts file tool)
