• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

I installed the new PCWorld toolbar and Spybot picked up 6 adwares and Lavasoft picked up 14 adwares (toolbar) with a TAC rating of 3. One is of special interest because it can disable Explorer. Any ideas are surely welcome with a:) ,Thanks and God Bless,
