Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively
new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications.
Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing
profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the
compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in
your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if
your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been
"hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most
probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms,
your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is
emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to
see if something has invaded your computer.
Spybot-S&D 1.5.1.17 Beta [Holloween Edition]
