Hi I was recently having some issues with my internet history and favorites about the wrong logos appearing beside the website that I posted about in another section. So I downloaded Spybot Search and Destroy to see if it was spyware but nothing was found then I did an immunilization and I checked the logos in the start menu and they went back to be the correct ones.

But what I would like to now is Spybot search and destryy safe? I've heard of fake ones that are actually spyware and virus. And where should I download it at? I was on their site but they give you a list of sites from where to download this progarm. Are all of those safe? I just would like to make sure so I don't download something that ruins my computer. Thanks for the help.

Spybot is safe to run when you get it from a safe site. It is far from the be all, end all for virus andspywear. what are you using for those?

I use avg anitvirus and windows defender. Which is a sfae site for me to download it from? I was on the site but then they give you a list of sites to get it from and when I did download it in the terms and agreement I believe it said in one section this is dedicated to the most beautiful girl in the world. Did I download it from a safe site?

A very safe place for downloading Spybot and a lot of other stuff is filehippo.com. And Spybot is very safe to use.

I would agree with Ken's comments.
May I suggest that Superantispyware or Malwarebytes [ both have free & paid versions ] are a better alternative to Spybot. They also run very well with AVG Anti Virus & Win Defender.
