That's VERY interesting indy.

Especially the replacement of spyware with dummy files. Like our beloved cd_clint.

What is SpyBot-Search & Destroy?

SpyBot-S&D searches your harddisk for so-called spy- or adbots; little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs show. But many of these modules also transmit information about your surfing behaviour and more to the net.
If SpyBot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace them with empty dummies in case their host won't work any more with its bot removed. In most cases, the host software still runs after removing the bot.
For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. Spybot-S&D works with an easy interface that allows updates by just replacing a file of about 1k size. Those updates come by my software mailinglist.

Another feature of Spybot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it more complicated for unknown spybots to transmit useful data. The list of last visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies, all that and more can be cleaned. Supported are the three mahjor browsers Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator and Opera.

Last but not least Spybot-S&D contains some routines to find and correct invalid entries into the registry.

That sounds like a great thing to have. If you guys try it, be sure and post if you think a blonde is capable of using it or not.

What bothers me about the program is that any time you start it, you get the warning message. Once would've been nicier.

used it on an win98se and it screwed up the winsock settings, so i couldn't get connection anymore.

fixed it with the excellent method of http://www.cexx.org/winsock.txt

spybots&d is to be handled with care - needs more experience what you really may remove

i saw in the option u can turn that off completly
i found it had trouble removing cydoor when it was in memory
asking if you wanted to run it @ startup next time u reboot?
i might need a memeory scan and remove like adaware
as it couldnt do it at startup either
it seems to make a cydoor.dll.backup file (well if IT didnt i dont know what did)
it also would be good if it or adaware for that matter would
recognize the dummy dlls
but worth a try 4 sure
