Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3 RC5
Beta Version
Author: PepiMK Software

File Description:

Spybot Search and Destroy searches your hard drive for so-called spy- or
adbots; that is, little modules that are responsible for the ads many
programs display. Many of these modules also transmit information,
including your surfing behavior on the Internet. If it finds such modules,
it can remove them. In most cases the host still runs fine after removing
the spyware/adware.

Another feature 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.

This last version had a bad memory leak on my system. Brought my
computer (Pentium 4, 512 RAM, 80 gig HD, WinXP) to a halt within 5-10
minutes of active comuter time. I unloaded the "tea-timer" and
everything is right with the world again.

Same here, is this (rc5) ok?
 
Gordon, I installed this and when I ran the program it still said RC4 at
the top of the screen. Is this what you get?

You have to uninstall RC4 first, and then install RC5 fresh. Then it'll
say RC5. Same thing happened to me here...
 
I installed RC5 and it says RC4. No memory problems on XP, am using the
TeaTimer.

I love that prog. It is useful to run CWShredder prior to running spybot in
really nasty hijacks, and 'Hijack this' afterwards.
