Spybot-Search & Destroy 2.0 beta has a modern appearance but it isn't just the design that has changed. Discover the fast performance, enjoy the completely automated updates and new command center that will suit both new and advanced users.

Our team has tested this complete new version thoroughly but there will be some bugs. Remember it is a beta and as such not a replacement for the stable version 1.6.2.

Everyone can download and test this release, we appreciate your feedback!

awesome. it's been over 2 years since the previous version of Spybot S&D was released.

however, Spybot S&D 2.0 beta can only be installed and used under WinXP/2003, Vista/2008 or Win7. I tried to install it under Win2000 and its setup program gave an error message saying that it requires Windows version 5.1.2600 or greater.

we'll wait and see if the final release of Spybot 2.0 can install/run under Win2k and older.

Thanks for the update!
This looks very promising, along with all the new underlying changes comes a radical new GUI change.

Hmm, I don't like the services it has.
