About spybot i only want do say that it only destroys spyware aplication, what means that if a sistem32 file is afected with a spyware, spybot only deletes the file afected. NOT RECOMMENDED TO DOWNLOAD. Try Windows Defender, its better.

Easily the best widely-available freeware spyware detection and removal program. (Not including Spyware Doctor because the free detection AND removal version is only available from Google.)

SpyBot is a very useful software and may help you in fighting spyware. I also downloaded AVG Antispyware and they work fine together.

Using both your Spybot and the SPYFALCON page with all the user comments helped me greatly. Had that *&^%$# Spyfalcon on my machine for almost a week.
Keep up the great work and I will be sending a contribution.

Spybot Works well but the online update servers are constantly overwhelmed. Users may need multiple trys, upgrade at odd hours or reconfigure to alternate servers to successfully update the program.
