Spybot

Spybot is a powerful software tool that scans your hard disk for spy- and adbots. These are little modules that can be responsible for the ads many programs show. Unfortunately, many of these bots also collect information about your web browsing behavior and transmit it to the internet.

If Spybot detects any of these modules, it can easily remove them or even replace them with empty dummies in case their host software won't work without them. This means that in most cases, the host software will still run smoothly after the removal of the bot.

Spybot also has an impressive list of supported bots, which can be found in the feature lists below. Another great feature of Spybot is the ability to remove usage tracks. This makes it more difficult for unknown spyware to collect useful data.

With Spybot, users can also clean up their list of last visited websites, opened files, started programs, and cookies. The software supports the three major browsers Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera.

Lastly, Spybot includes routines to find and correct invalid entries in the registry, ensuring that your system runs smoothly and efficiently. Overall, Spybot is a highly effective tool that offers a comprehensive solution for protecting your personal data and ensuring optimal computer performance.
