    Default windows 8 and spybot

    put simply.. will spybot be compatible under windows 8?

    spybot is a CRITICAL piece of my security software suite, and I need to know if it will be or if I'll be looking to a competitor for protection.

    Hello,

    Windows 8 is not completely tested (but no issues are known).
    It was an operating system in development when Spybot-S&D 2.0 was being created,
    as such there are no guarantees as to what will hold true at this point.

    Hello,

    It's the same for version 1.6.2 as it was developed about 4 years ago.

    @XRaiderV1: spybot 1.6.2 may work under Windows 8 but you're better off waiting for the final release of spybot 2.0 which will have full Win8 compatibility

    Hello,

    I'm sorry, but that is a wrong information.
    We never said Spybot-S&D 2.0 will be fully compatible with Windows 8.
    Please see above.

    should I seek a competitor's product instead? and if so, which is the best one to use?
