Spybot 2.0 ????
- Thread starter typerextreme
- Start date
Are you talking about a beta release?
Considering that a long time has passed (pretty much a year or more), since the I first new Spybot 2.0 was going to be released, I sincerely hope that it will be better than SUPERAntispyware and Malwarebytes, to be honest.
Otherwise, all this time, and then to be what already is, in terms of detection, well... I think Spybot will lose more of it's users.
Time will tell, for sure.

The time it has taken for this new version to come out is ridiculous. It was just a couple years ago when almost everyone I know had S&D installed, now not one person I know has it. S&D has been passed by SAS, MBAM among others and the exorbitant amount of time this new version has taken has only added to the problem. Whether you or I like it or not, it doesn't take long in this day and age for software to become obsolete. I hope the new version is great but if the development process continues too much longer....it may not matter.:sad:

Not only that. MBAM, SAS, and others, they update their definitions in a daily basis. Spybot doesn't. Giving the reality of nowadays, updating definitions once a week, is just damn ridiculous.

This is exactly what I mean. Still in a damn alpha stage, after all this time, that for what I remember, there goes more than a year. I haven't payed attention to the alpha build phase, but which alpha is it? First? Second?
Without serious envolvement in the development to bring it to a beta stage, so that knowledgeable users can test it, etc., to bring it as final version, I don't see a brilliant future ahead of Spybot.
If Spybot team no longer can keep up, then simply donate Spybot's code to the open source community. I'm pretty sure things will evolve a lot.
It will be sad to see a once loved antimalware application to die and fade into oblivion.

any estimate on a release date for 2.0 
the anticipation is killing me

the answer is an emphatic NO!
they'll release a final version of spybot 2.0 when they're actually ready to release it (I know it's a cliché but it's true). heck, they don't even know when they'll release the first beta version of spybot 2.0.
try waiting for another season...

By the time the new Spybot comes out, its technology will already come out as being obsolete.
Hi for everyone in this forum

Facebook has screen shots of 2.0 that are 8 months old. Twitter is no better.
Is 2.0 a dead horse that has been buried?
Yeah, it's kind of concerning that nothing ever arrived. I mean, all this time?
I used to have Spybot under a lot of consideration, and still do advice it family members to immunize IE, but... is this all Spybot is able to do? Because, it sure can't keep up with the existent malware, so that it can fight them.
Not only that, but also only weekly updates, do not make of Spybot a challenge to malware.
Again, I will advice this: If you cannot bring Spybot to a good term, then donate the code so that open source communities can make use of it and enhance it... and actually put it to work. Will Spybot simply die after all these years? It would be sad to see it happening. It used to be a very reliable option, but not any longer.
