The last beta release of Spybot-S&D 2.0 finally arrived!

In this Beta we have fixed a lot of trivial and minor issues. As a result we expect Beta 6 to be the predecessor of the first release candidate. We hope you like our fresh user interface cleanup.

We would like to thank our faithful users who reported dozens of bugs.

Beta 6 features:

  • Windows 8 Security Center support
  • A modern and cleaned up user interface
  • Updated help document and style
  • Master Boot Record scans using SDRootAlyzer
  • Installer now detects more recent versions of Spybot-S&D
  • Added Uninstall Wizard to maintain undo immunization or recovery
  • Fixed exceptions when scanning files on a network share
Remember it is a beta and as such not a replacement for the stable version 1.6.2.

Known issues:

  • Tests on Windows 8 are not completely finished
  • This version does not offer the Live Protection component
  • SDChrome has been removed; the web browser extensions will be rewritten using a more flexible concept.
