Great news! Just ran a full system scan, no issues. No false positive, no nothing. I'll test the protection and cleaning abilities tomorrow or in the upcoming days.

nice but there's one little disappointment.

The System Requirements (especially the Windows OS requirements) for Spybot Search & Destroy 2.0 final are not listed on the Spybot web site

a reminder that Spybot 2.0 requires at least WinXP SP2 to use. Win2000 SP4 users should use Spybot 1.6.2 as that version is still supported.

some longtime Spybot users may still think that v2.0 may have the same system requirements as the previous version 1.6.2.

the webmaster of the spybot web site should list the new system requirements for spybot 2.0 on the spybot download page ASAP.

Hi,

Version 2.0 looks great so far. Issues I have however are;

(1) in 1.62 I could add the Spybot Hosts Files to HostMan which I use to manage and update my Hosts File. Can not seem to get this to work with 2.0 as the whole Advanced Tools Section/Choices and that function seem to either be so much smaller of not there?

Probably me, not looking in the right place but guess I was used to 1.62.

(2) I also have a few rouge Opera Cookie Protection (193) Unprotected that I cannot seem to get right on the XP PC but it works fine on the HP Pavilion DV6 Laptop (Win 7 Home Premium) system.

System: 2.85 Gigahertz Intel Core2 Quad Q9550, twin 500GB Raid Mirrored HDDs, 4GB RAM, External 1.5TB HDD, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (build 2600) (32 bit) with HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW GGC-H20L [CD-ROM drive] and NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 1GB DDR3 [Display adapter], LG Flatron E2441IV [Monitor] (24.0")

Hello,

Could it be that you fixed all items that were found in a scan including usage tracks?
If you want to keep such stuff you can exclude those items from future scans:
How to exclude products from the search?
To fix any problems you have after performing a scan with Spybot you can use the Quarantine function
in the Start Center which helps you to recover deleted items.

First, I must say that I appreciate all of the efforts of the Spybot team. You guys have made a very valuable tool that many people have come to rely on through the years.

I reviewed Spybot - S&D 2 today and was both impressed and disappointed. What impressed me is that there are many new and powerful tools included with ver. 2, however what left me disappointed is the disjointed user interface. All of the tools appearing in a different window just seems like a giant step backward. While ver. 1.6's user interface wasn't the pinnacle of greatness, it was more organised and gave the program a friendlier feel.

Just my three and two-quarters centavos...

Will B.

Installed Spybot 2 Free edition on 2 computers - 1 running Win 7 x64 and the other Win 8 x64.

All browsers closed. On both computers Immunization does nothing. It acts like it immunizes - the numbers move to the green (Protected) column, but after I re-open it they are again all in the Unprocessed column. Running the program or just the Immunization as Admin does nothing.
