Spybot is now useless. It hasn't been updated in over 6 months.

If you're looking to get rid of spyware, download one of the following:
Microsoft AntiSpyware (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)
Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/)
Webroot SpySweeper (http://www.webroot.com/) (costs money)

Spybot is now useless. It hasn't been updated in over 6 months.They are still suporting version 1.3. Are you still using version 1.2 by any chance?
