Yes, but it is not the only one you should use...all of the following are free!

Absolutely. I use it regularly to clean computers on a professional basis. There used to be a time when people said to use both Spybot and Ad-aware, but I think Spybot + AVG is a sufficient enough solution to solve pretty much every problem you may run into.

It's an OK program but uses alot of resources. For a while I thought that Spybot actually put stuff on my PC, just my paranoia i guess.

Yes. It is one that I use. But because each company uses a slightly different definition of what is "spyware", I recommend that you run two different any-spyware programs, and alternate between them each scan. The other one I like is Ad-aware SE Personal. You can get it for free at download.com

.
I have Spy Bot AND Ad-aware
After I run Spy Bot, and it catches 3 to 6 items
then I run Ad-aware and it will catch 30+ MORE that Spybot left behind.
Get Ad-AWARE spy-removal tool from Lavasoft

1. Download, install and run this program weekly or more.

Yes, it is good but you need other programs with it..Adaware SE and Spyware Blaster are also good, each program may find or block different things.

Yes! Definitely. It help me catch whatever ad-aware or AVG spyware can't catch. Highly recommended

It's OK. It found a bunch of garbage on my computer that McAfee could not. It did not fix the problem I was having, though.

Yeah, I personally like it. It does the job it claims to do. And the user interface is so easy to use and understand. :-)
