Spybot S&D Definitions Updated on March 14, 2007
World reknowned anti-spyware program - Spybot Search and Destroy - was updated with new spyware definition files. If you use this program be sure to run manual updates as soon as possible.
If you see a program listed in these detections by name you should assume that is is malware. All of the programs listed with a + sign are additions, or updated detections, and are dangerous to your computer, and/or personal security. Update your Spybot Search and Destroy definitions, then scan for and fix any malware that is detected.
After updating your Spybot S&D definitions, if they include new Immunization definitions you need to click on the Immunize button, then, if the status line tells you that additional immunizations are possible, click on the Immunize link, near the top of the program. It has a green + sign in version 1.4. If you don't do this the new immunizations against hostile ActiveX programs will not be applied.

Spybot Search and Destroy Update History
Viruses, spyware, adware, keyloggers, browser/search hijackers and rootkits all have one thing in common; they require administrator privileges to install themselves into the operating system, or to write to the Local_Machine branch of the Windows Registry. By running with reduced privileges, as a Limited or Power User you are protected against virtually all malware threats that need to install to function. Furthermore, if you run with reduced user privileges your choice of updates will be more limited that if you apply them from an administrator level account. You would do this by first applying the updates as a Limited or Power User, then Switch Users, or log onto an Administrator account and re-apply the updates and immunizations. I have posted more information about running with reduced user privileges, here and here.
For those of you who have not yet used Spybot Search and Destroy, if you were wondering if it "plays nice" with other anti spyware programs, it most certainly does! I have used Spybot S&D since it's inception, along with various other free and commercial security programs, and it has never caused any problems on my, or my customers' computers.
