why dont you guys makes spybot s&d open source.
then maybe we the users could devolop some tools that might help your crappy detection rates (cos they are crappy) i'm sorry to say this the biggest malware fighting site just degreaded spybot search and destroy from 4 eyes to 2 where 6 is the best but anyways keep up the good work...

i guess that site also has an online shop

that site is the worst crap ever

i wonder what country you are from, you misspell as much as me

biggest malware fighting site?

SaferNetworking is dedicated to fighting malware. I don't think that Spybot-Search&Destroy is a open source anyways.

Spybot-SD does not detect virus as it does detect malware, spybot, bots, worms, spyware, trojans horses, and some rookits. Spybot targets specific spyware/malware and it does not detect all of them.

Hi.

What is that site you were referring to?

Open Source means: "Give your code to everyone else". Where's the incentive to do that when you've already developed it?

If what you really want is the ability to extend the detections of Spybot S&D, then the Spybot Team has already setup a framework to allow that. It's called "OpenSBI" and it's covered in the OpenSBI Discussion forum found at the following link.

I'm quite certain Patrick will be very happy to hear any input you might have as you begin to use the framework. Now let's see you put your money where your mouth is.
