    I have been using Spybot for nearly ten years, and I can honestly say that in all of that time I haven't found a single thing about it that I don't like. Even these forums are extraordinary; you...

    Thank you!

    Thank you, shelf life, for your recommendations. I shall most certainly try both and see which of the two offers the greatest level of protection without adversely impacting performance. My time on...

    AVG-Free Alternatives?

    I have an older (2003-vintage) Pentium 4 PC running XP, protected (as was the machine it replaced) by Spybot since the beginning. I also had AVG free since the beginning, and was happy with it until...

    Blocked Cookies in Portable Firefox

    OK, I give up. How do I get the 380 blocked cookies into 'exceptions' in Portable Apps Firefox without typing each one in? Please, keep it simple, I'm very slow. With thanks!

    Thank you, Greyfox, I believe this is the one. I am actually running Office 2007, but I suspect this is applicable. I've grown terribly bored with the totally unnecessary irritations caused by...

    Premature Ending...

    After running a complete scan, and using the 'Fix selected problems' button, Spybot prematurely shuts down, having removed only three or four of the 'tracks'. I believe this question was dealt with...
  9. Ditto

    I've had this happen intermittently (I run Spybot daily), perhaps 3 out of 5 uses, and I, too, am curious to learn the cause.

    Spybot Web Browser?

    I was chatting with a knowledgeable fellow the other day, and he blithely declared that a web browser is a very simple thing to assemble. 'Even you could do it,' he said. Ignoring the obvious low...

    What can one say? One doesn't know whether to laugh or cry, what? I mean, they mention Windows Defender in the same breath... Too, too sad. It is a valuable review however, inasmuch as is...

    Excellent news, PepiMK! That would certainly be a most welcome addition to the indispensable Spybot creation. One spends hours unearthing and counteracting the maliciously puerile pitfalls of the...

    Like erikguy, I, too, found the Spybot shredder was a must-have. The pre-sets allowed for fast, simple elimination of the significant data, and anything else was simple enough to add. I used it...
