there is also

I have both spybot and lavasoft's ad-aware. I think spybot is a better at detecting offending programs/spyware.

 

is it possible to retrieve information from a reformatted harddrive?

 

Does this spyware interfere with the Free Email account that Yahoo provides?

It appears some people claim Spybot itself has spyware components and/or causes your system to malfunction. The pattern of the product reviews on CNET is suspicious, lots of rave reviews presenting Spybot as the best tool out there but also a fair amount of reviewers guarding against the hype and the problems the software causes. I haven't tried it yet but I for one know that it's useless against adware.searchcounter (see my thread on this)

 

Have used spybot for 18 months now, never had one problem.

 

I was told the one instance that you cannot retrieve info was when you reformatted your hard drive.

But, check with an expert.

 

What kind of stuff?
