For those of you that are using Spybot I just found and downloaded a new version (1.3) that was released last month. If you're still running version 1.2 you might want to download and install the new version because it looks like they're not making updates to 1.2.

I have the new version,
I like the upgrades.
Spybot Rocks, I use it on system bootup. You'll be amazed at all the stuff you pick up especially if you spend any time on xbay.

I too have the latest version, it's amazing (and a bit scary) how much more the newer program finds.

A computer program you download that detects ALL kinds of spyware on your computer and disables them. Really helps to eliminate spam.

This is a great program - I recommend anyone who surfs the internet install this and run a scan. You'll be shocked at how much spyware is on your PC.

Where do you get it and is there a fee or cost?

Charlie,
http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download
You can download the free version there.

I also recommend SpywareGuard.
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
It runs in your tool/startup tray and does real-time scanning, like your virus scan and protects against spyware from websites and programs.
