:sad:Hi, Guys
I had been a longtime user of Spybot but moved on after some letdown of the once great program so I thought would checkout again and see if any improvement now that V2.0 has finally been released for a while with the thought of adding it back into my toolbox.
So have checked out some reviews
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2412372,00.asp
even Wilders has a lot of negatives main beef is the poor malware detection by Spybot 2.0?
All the reviews I have read complain about the amount of missed malware and spyware that spybot2 did not find when compared with other free programs like malwarebytes.
So is SpyBot still behind the times? I think i will wait a little longer and then see if there is a change in the negatives that are being posted by reviews and some users :sad:

I don't even actually use Spybot anymore.I've got to say it has a terrible detection rate of the current spyware that's wrecking havoc on computers.But I've got a good faith in which Spybot will be revived and be honored with high reviews.
