What do you think of spybot?

Question

Do you find it annoying or very efficient and reliable?

Answer 1

I used to use spybot and I thought it was okay.  I use Ad-Aware Se now and it works really really good.  A tech told me that spybot dosent pick up as much as Ad-Aware.

Answer 2

Its ok, i use do a scan now and then and it works fine

Although it has a bit of a cheap look to it

Answer 3

Annoying, and it conflicted badly with Norton 360. I had to do a system recovery because of it.

Answer 4

Definitly reliable/efficient. The only thing I don't like about it is that if one of the problems can't be fixed and you need tor estart to sort it out, it doesan entire scan all over again, so I just don't bother.

Other than that it is a very good program for security.

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

very annoying got rid of it

Answer 6

ive never used it myself but have heard its very good

Answer 7

Used to be very good; but I agree with the PC Magazine review which said it has gone way downhill with the newest release. I god rid of it and now rely upon just AdAware, the anti-spyware component of AVG, ClamWin, and Spywareblaster for my protection...probably not enough but so it goes.

Answer 8

I usually like it but since I have a huge harddrive it takes forever to do virus scans. Otherwise though it's great and catches every single virus/spyware.
