Key Features of Spybot

  • Spybot 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 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.
  • For a list of \'supported\' bots see the feature lists below.
  • Another feature of Spybot is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it more complicated for unknown spyware to transmit useful data.
  • The list of last visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies, all that and more can be cleaned.
  • Spybot actively cleans tracking cookies from modern browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Opera.
  • Last but not least Spybot contains some routines to find and correct invalid entries into the registry.
