Search
your hard disk for so-called spybots or adbots, the modules that are
responsible for showing ads and transmitting information back to vendors.
If Spybot Search and Destroy finds such modules, it will remove them
or replace them with empty dummies. In most cases, the host software
still runs after removing the bot. Among the adbots Spybot targets:
Aureate, CLPRS, Comet Cursors, eZula HotText, Gator, GoHip, Radiate,
WebHancer, and WildTangent.
Spybot also removes your usage tracks
(last visited Web sites, opened files, started programs, and cookies),
so even spybots that are unknown can't transmit this private information.
