Looking over some of the features offered by SSD2, the sudden boom of staff, and reviewing the code... It would suggest you're thinking of making SSD2 either shareware or direct to order.
How much will SSD2 cost?

Spybot, is the onliest free anti-spyware program with a real-time scanner, and it has "Immunize" (a feature which is exclusive for free programs). Everyone should be VERY happy this is program is free for use, because if you look at their competitors, almost everyone is a paid-software(only the "only-scanner" version is free), and they have the exact same features(that being said, Spybot do have more features!! And it's still FREE!). Spybot is amazing!
A donation wouldn't hurt!

To be fair, the free Spyware Blaster also does perform some Immunization (in fact that's really all it does), and although it's not nearly as comprehensive (in particular touching neither the HOSTS file nor Opera's URL Filter), it does add some entries not added by Spybot, and its set of ActiveX killbits is unparalleled, much greater than Spybot's list of 895 or so (and with a special Custom Blocking List it goes over 10000).
My recommendation is to use both, first Spyware Blaster (which does nothing at all, not even in the background, unless it is actively used), then Spybot immunization; they do not conflict.
My perspective may be skewed, because I actually disable the slow resident scanner, sticking with just Microsoft Security essentials for real-time anti-spyware protection, and if it weren't for the excellent Immunization module in Spybot I would have left it behind a long time ago.
Hello,
