"What does SpyBot-Search & Destroy?

SpyBot-S&D searches your hard drive for so-called spy- or adbots;
little modules that are responsible for the ads many programs
display. But many of these modules also transmit information about
your surfing behaviour and more to the net.
If SpyBot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace
them with empty dummies in case their host software won't run with
its bot removed. In most cases, the host still runs fine after
removing the bot.
For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. The
Spybot-S&D interface is so easy, that updates just require replacing
a file of about 80k in size. Those updates are distributed by my
software mailinglist, over this page and are also available from
inside the programs update section.

Another feature of Spybot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which
makes it more complicated for unknown spybots to transmit useful
data. The list of last visited websites, opened files, started
programs, cookies, all that and more can be cleaned. Supported are
the three major browsers Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator and
Opera.

Last but not least Spybot-S&D contains some routines to find and
correct invalid entries into the registry."
