    Default Backdoor detection

    Hi all

    I wonder if anyone could explain whether Spybot S & D can detect a backdoor in tempered commercial software.

    I need to use an old version of a commercial program (a .exe file) and am a little concerned that it may have been tempered with. It seems that backdoors can be very hard to detect by anti-virus or anti-spyware programs.

    Can anyone shed some light on this subject matter?

    Thanks in advance.
