I think my Spybot Search and Destroy is broken.

I don't know much about this program, but everytime I have had it search for spyware it only comes up with five DSO entries. At first, it would just go with the command of fixing the entries, but I could always scan again and they would still be there. Hell, now everytime I tell it to fix the problem entries, it just freezes up before it can complete the process of not actually fixing the problems.

Hellsbells, is Search and Destroy even worth the scan or is it just the immunization feature that's worth it?

[WTF]

No spyware I know off is 100%. I use Spybot and sometimes eScan. Perhaps unistalling it and re-installing and getting the updates on their site, may help. But this just a suggestion. There are many out there that can assist you better.

adaware works fairly nice :(

yea just get Adaware SE, go on less porn sites and download fewer free programs.

[WTF]

I have heard about Adaware and comes highly recommended. Thanks for the tip. I will also give it a try!

[Shyandquietguy]

Well, I do have Ad-aware SE, Spyblaster, and that Microsoft anti-spyware as well. Not only that but I rarely go off of just visiting a few sites and I rarely download anything out of curiousity.

What I'm really curious about is if Spybot acts like this on everyones computer, not just mine.

I have it running on my xp pro kazaa edition, and seems to be fine. re-download it and re-install it (spy-bot sd) to see if that doesnt clear up your problem.
