[dba-Tech] Spybot S&D 1.4 review

John,

Sounds good.

But after reading the heavy praise over Norton's -- mostly over the 
interface and ease of use -- I was concerned with this:

>In tests, Spybot missed two out of three of the commercial spy packages I 
>planted for it to find. (Norton's Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware 
>Edition found two of the three, but could only remove one.) The disturbing 
>thing is that Spybot knows about one of the two programs it didn't detect 
>at all: spyPC (the program neither Norton nor Spybot found) is listed in 
>Spybot's keylogger programs, which users can check off to exclude from 
>searches. Nobody excluded it, but Spybot didn't find it. And while Spybot 
>found Guardian Monitor, the program Norton picked up and identified but 
>could not remove, Spybot found it only by its appearance in the list of 
>running processes.
