spybot search and destroy free download 64 bit 2016

The program cleans pretty well, although it MUST be kept up to date.

My only gripe here is that some of the features you have to dig for by changing into the advanced mode, like the scheduler and the real-time shield. This program has a decent interface, nothing too flashy, and pretty well laid out for the most part. And I am still using it to this day on all my PCs.

This product has been around for a VERY long time. Thanks to the developers for providing a great piece of free software for so many years, and good luck with this as well. So I tried to improvise by selecting the entire C drive for a 'folder' scan, but this froze the program, which then required a ctrl+alt+del just to be mercifully closed and cleared away. With the latest version of Spybot S&D, I could not expediently figure out how to run a full system scan, and it appeared to not even be an option on the free version any more. From the gimmicks to hide and discourage downloading the free version, to the unnecessarily complicated interface, I recognized this path to bloatware oblivion as the same one AVG took a few years ago when it became the awful, invasive piece of spyware it is today ('security' toolbar, anyone?). I was sorely disappointed with how badly this program has lost focus. I hadn't used it in a while, but wanted to check behind MBAM, MSE, and SuperAntiSpyware on a laptop I was cleaning up for a friend. Spybot was my go-to malware program for years until MBAM came along and severely outclassed it.
