What are your opinions of Spybot Anti-Spyware and does anyone use it anymore?

Last version I used was v1.6, when it was called Spybot Search and Destroy (SnD). At the time, it was eventually replaced by SuperAnti-Spyware, then Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

It's no longer a software I would ever consider using.

I was just using the freeware edition until recently (1 scan in 2 months or so) for the immunization feature made me feel comfortable with IE in a way.Other than the registry leftover by toolbars,it was just detecting privacy traces.

Actually even way back before the performance of Spybot Search and Destroy as anti-spyware may not reach fully as nearly perfect stage but good program though.

But....

As other competitors existed, Spybot is fell behind on track and decided to be a full blown AV however considered to be mediocre. Some components are not needed in the sense the OS itself contains already.

As the saying goes... stick at what you're good at.
