This not one of
those programs that permit you to scan your PC to scare you, or
disgust you into buying the program. Spybot - Search & Destroy
is FREE and can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from
your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common
anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in
your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your
browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your
knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see
anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is
emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a
marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies.
Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if
something snooped into your computer, too :)
To see a list of threats that Spybot-S&D
can remove, visit their web site If you want an introduction how
Spybot-S&D works, there is a tutorial on their web site. If you fear
incompatibility with other software you are using, they assure you
that will not be the case. Still, they have created a compatibility
overview listing on their web site for some software that
compatibility has been asked for before.
Spybot-S&D can also clean usage
tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other
users and don't want them to see what you worked on. And for
professional users, it allows to fix some registry inconsistencies and
extended reports. A list of features is available below.
What Spybot-S&D can do: Spybot-S&D can start in two
modes: Easy mode for new users who want just the basic
features, and Advanced mode for professional users and those
who want more control. Both modes are available in the free version.

SmartClose is a free program that will
automate the process of closing all running programs. It can also save
the state of the system to a system snapshot, so all the programs that
have been closed can be also easily restarted later by SmartClose.
Many tasks that can be performed on PC's these days require you to
close all currently running programs. For example, almost every
installer asks you to close all other applications to minimize
conflicts and to avoid replacing in-use files. Other high-end tasks,
such as burning CD's and defragmenting or scanning hard drives can
slow down or even fail when other processes 'kick in', like background
programs, the screen saver or a scheduled task.
Of course, you can manually exit each program one by one, disable the
screen saver… That is when SmartClose comes in! SmartClose
will automatically close all running programs, disable the screen
saver and halt all other processes that can interrupt without asking.
But what when you have finished the task that required you to use
SmartClose and you want to restore the programs and such that were
disabled by SmartClose? Restart the computer? No, because
before SmartClose closes or disables anything, it will first
save the current state of the system (running programs, screen saver…)
to a 'system snapshot', that can later be opened and restored again by
SmartClose.
Some other features of SmartClose:
Two wizards: the Close Programs wizard, for closing all the programs,
and the Restore wizard, to restore a system snapshot. Both provide an
intuitive and clear interface - the latest Windows 2000/XP wizard
style - and assist you step by step.
Thanks to its SmartClose-technology, most programs can be
properly closed, so that the program can still save its settings and
return memory and resources to the system.
In the rare cases that a program can't be properly closed,
SmartClose can use SmartKill to kill the program. Still, all the
memory and resources used by the program will be freed with this
method.
If you don't want a program to be closed or killed by SmartClose,
you can add it to a list of 'Protected Programs'.
Besides closing programs, SmartClose also closes Explorer and
Internet Explorer windows and saves their current location, so they
can be restored properly later.
Disables and restores the screen saver.
Stops and restarts Windows NT/2000/XP-services, such as the Task
Scheduler, that can interrupt other processes. On Windows
9x/Millennium, the Task Scheduler can also be disabled and re-enabled.
And finally, you get all of these features for free! SmartClose
is 100% freeware without any nag screens, trial periods, ads, spyware
etc.
Minimum system requirements: Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.0,
Windows 98, Windows Millennium, Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 with
Internet Explorer 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
Note: SmartClose currently does not include any
documentation, but the next major release will probably have a help
file. If you have any questions about the program, you can mail them
the developer. They might also put a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
on their web site in the future.
