I used to really like spybot but I gave it up a few years ago when the definition downloads started becoming huge and the program slowed down.

Nancy, do you think they may have improved it since then?

Pete they might have but because I use malwarebytes, I don't see a need to use spybot too.
If you try it out let me know whether they still have huge definition downloads.

I too gave it up years ago. I have Malwarebytes Premium, but also have Super Antispyware Pro. At the time, SA was a superior program to Spybot. Spybot also adds HOST file entries that have been issues to some. I honestly can't say if Spybot is any good, it is so rarely mentioned these days. UB : )
