They over-complicated Spybot 2.0 and added Paid versions (too quickly), which in my opinion makes a bad product.

RE: spybot search and destroy + av beta

Does anyone know what AV engine they are using?

I heard that they were going to use ClamWin AV but the source was not completely reliable.

Thanks.

it will be another bitdefender signatures av , quote from an spybot employee :

Hello,

The anti-virus does work the whole time: for scanning and Live Protection.

Updates are available several times a day.

The AV signatures will be created by Bitdefender.

We present Spybot + AV because we like to offer our customers the best protection available by combining two market leading engines.
And many customers were asking about dedicated virus protection.

Antivirus scan (Home Edition and above)

Home edition is now paid version, so not in free version i guess.....

like we can use Zonealarm free antivirus, if we want to use Kaspersky engine for free..

April 22nd, 2013

The release of Spybot +AV 2.1 in early May will mark a big change in the Spybot product. We will soon be offering a product that not only provides detection and removal of adware and spyware but also antivirus protection.

This is a very important milestone for us as we will be offering a product that provides complete protection against all types of malware. As well as the addition of an antivirus engine we are now also offering more frequent updates for better protection.

This product has been a long time in development and the recent release of Spybot 2 was the first step towards the launch of this new product.
