Spybot - Search & Destroy is designed to detect and remove relatively new types of spyware and other threats missed by conventional antivirus programs. Spyware is a spyware module that discreetly monitors your surfing on the Internet in order to create a marketing profile for you, which will be subsequently transferred without your consent to the processors and sold to advertising companies.
If you see a new dashboard in your Internet Explorer that you have not installed, if your browser crashes for an unexplained reason, or if your home page has been changed without your knowledge, your computer is likely to be infected with spyware. Even if you don't see any signs, your computer may be infected. Spybot-S&D is completely free, so there will be no harm if you try to check if anything has invaded your PC.
SpyBot - Search & Destroy effectively detects and removes newer spyware and threats overlooked by typical antivirus programs.
