Version: Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2
Pros: Same easy to use interface. In my opinion this beats other pay-for programs like Superantispyware because it found stuff I never knew existed on my Vista machine. After running it my internet spped increased noticeably. Cannot praise it highly enough. Excellent immuniser ensures continued protection against known threats.
Cons: Manual update, not automatic, but it's a small point.

Version: Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.5.2
Pros: I use this Antispyware for over 2 years.This old program has protected my pc alongwith Ad-Aware SE Personal with their On-demand scanners.This new Vn.has come after a long time,but it regularly updated its detection rules and did its job.The start-up delay is reduced in this new Vn., but the scanning time is still long--it took about 45 minutes to complete(earlier it took about 20 t0 30 minutes).May be I've too many files to scan.;but the detection & removal are somewhat comprehensive. I thought the new Vn. would give options for Quick-scan,Smart-scan & Full-scan(as in other new Antispywares),but it did not give such renovations.Any-way, as requested by the developer,Patrick M.Kolla, in its License Agreement, I pray to my God to Bless him always.

"had any issues with spybot you wanted fixed? these are fixed in this new version"
Pros: Fist off, I had the original version 5, then i did beta testing for the next 2 beta's that happened. Over the time with people participating in the forums, I am glad to see they released this new version. This new version fixes all the known issues that you may have encountered using the original spybot. There is now a separate updater system, and it works alot smoother then the first version 5 they released. updating now takes less time, and i have dial up! I can update on a dial up connection in about 1 minute. (if there is for example, 3 updates to download.) Scan time has improved on my machine, teatimer (spybots resident protection) takes less system usage then before. There is improved crash performance. When i killed the spybot process, it starts up just as fast as if it was never killed, compared to version 4. The Major slow startup bug has been fixed, takes only exactly 3 seconds on my machine to load, Even with 5 other items on your taskbar. Also, if your running vista, it fixed several known bugs in there to. I participate in there forums, thats why i have all this info. I do not work for spybot, I just take part in there forums which you can reach at the spybot home page. I rly like this version, and i believe this is finally the best spybot version that has ever been released, by far the best, compared to the older ones. I am very happy with this product, good job spybot team!!
Cons: You cannot download new spybot versions within the program. You have to go to there website or sites like download.com
