I know that Spybot finds and removes viruses during a scan, but does the real-time protection detect viruses as well? Windows only reports that my spyware protection is working, and says I have no virus protection. I am assuming this is just a flaw with Windows, but I would like to know for sure.
Hello FentonFred,
I know that Spybot finds and removes viruses during a scan, but does the real-time protection detect viruses as well? Windows only reports that my spyware protection is working, and says I have no virus protection. I am assuming this is just a flaw with Windows, but I would like to know for sure.
Spybot-S&D is not an anti virus program. :) The application searches for spyware, malware, adware, trojans, hijackers and keyloggers.
There are good free anti virus programs: So how did I get infected in the first place? (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=279)
Hope that helps.
