Spybot Search & Destroy FAQ

Why is Spybot-S&D that fast?

There are different ways to search for spies. One would be to search the complete registry and hard disk for suspicious entries and files which would take a lot of time. Spybot-S&D works different and takes advantage of the fact that all spies have to anchor themselves at a few places over the system to get active. It starts to search at those places, following the information gathered there to catch the whole spy.
