    Strengths: Very simple to use, user-friendly interface, does what it claims to do better than the majority of other programs available, especially those that are free.

    Weaknesses: None that I can recall, other than the fact that the version I was using didn't support Vista, so I had stopped using it.

    Overall Evaluation: While I haven't used Spybot S&D for a couple of years, due to the version at that time not being supported by Vista, the version(s) I had been using were quite good, and based on that alone, I can not only recommend previous versions, but, even moreso, would suggest the latest versions, as I'm certain they've continued to only make the program better. The ONLY thing that kept me from rating it 5 stars is that it took too long to release a version supporting Vista once Vista was released. If not for that, it WOULD have been 5 stars.
