Spybot 2 - Download

Spybot 2 Search & Destroy is now available. Spybot 2 has got a completely new front end. The tools available are grouped in the Start Center into three sections. Most of the ‘Basic Tools’ existing users will be familiar with but they have all been improved to increase speed and usability.

The Advanced Tools really start to let you get to the core of your system and are not for the faint hearted. Settings gives you control of how Spybot 2 behaves and really allows you to tailor settings to get the maximum out of our software. Here you have control of everything from schedules to choosing how Spybot 2 interacts with other installed software. By tweaking the settings available scan speeds can be fine tuned. Startup Tools give you access to various registry settings grouped logically. This is a tool for real experts and caution should be exercised when making changes. A Secure Shredder is also provided which allows you to effectively delete files by making sure that all traces of data have been removed. This is very useful if you are worried about confidential documents falling into the wrong hands.

Advanced Tools also provide a Rootkit Scan which can provide a Quick Scan of you system or a ‘Deep Scan’ which is of course more time consuming. There are also facilities here to check for updates and repairing broken system entries.
