Hi all

Spybot - Search & Destroy 2.9.82 Released (December 23, 2021)



Spybot 2.9 features a long list of highest quality under the hood updates, including outstanding support for Windows 11 and the latest releases of major and niche web browsers. Spybot’s unique approach to anti-malware and unpopular software complements the award-winning first class antivirus software included in all paid versions, resulting in a complete solution that goes far beyond what regular antivirus suites cover – even at an affordable and competitive price.

Hi guys, what do you thik about it?

I think it's over 10 years since I heard about Spybot. What I could find about it, was not especially exciting, but then I dont really know the product today. If I wanted something of the kind, I would probably look at Malwarebytes premium. Especially if I had to pay for it. But maybe the developers have made something really good.

To take things a step further, I had some fun doing a test run.
I installed a few PUPs and Adware that I had on hand.

The updated Spybot only detected PC Cleaner (which is a PUP). The other detections are false positives (especially WinRAR... lol)

AdwCleaner detected everything I had installed :)

The WinRAR detection is not a false positive, its for cleaning usage traces. Its not detecting it as being malware or a PUP.
