"Great program that protects your computer"
Version: Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.6.2
Pros
It has a continues updated database, it can immunize your browser from know malicious sites, it secures against bot's and the annoying malware bars like Babylon and Incredibar.
Software is free, but you can buy / donate.Cons
Old userinterface - should have been updated in version 2 that I consider upgrading to.
It does take a little CPU power while running in background.Summary
In order to make full use of the software, you must right-click and run under administrator rights.
If you have been attacked by Babylon or Incredibar malware, this software may help. Winning combination with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software. -
