I was a SpyBot user before installing IE 8
I think SpyBot S & D is a very good software.
I'd like to reinstall it, but I'm also a Firefox user and FF 3.5 is coming so I suppose there will be other issues with FF 3.5 and SpyBot immunization

I used to use it but now I do not because of the comaptability issues that it has had. This is is a pity because I always considered it a very useful tool, but when I emailed them I got no reply, so if they don't bother then I don't

@ seti: did you try to subscribe SpyBot S&D forum?
I think is the best way to get support from them

Just consider their software is free both for personal and commercial use.
However now IE 8 immunization issue seems fixed

No I didn't as when I asked Glary for a 64 bit version they responded by email and produced the goods and told me when they had done so. I don't subscribe to many forums, particulary not product ones
