Searches your hard disk for so-called spy or adbots
Spybot - Search & Destroy application was designed to detect and remove spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications.
Spyware silently tracks your surfing behavior to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. You can also download Spybot - Search & Destroy Portable
