Hi, I remember when Spybot 1.6.2 was a must to install in every Pc, but I am not sure if Spybot 2.6 is useful on Windows 10? Please share your thoughts Thanks Came
It is definitely no longer a "must". I have not used it on systems here since getting rid of all our XP systems. If you keep Windows 10 updated, use a basic anti-malware solution (and Windows Defender is fine for that), and you avoid risky behavior, you are fine. By risky behavior I mean, don't be "click-happy" on unsolicited links, downloads, attachments, and popups. If not sure of a link, don't click on it. Do not visit illegal pornography or gambling sites. And do not participate in illegal filesharing via Torrents and P2P sites. And regardless your primary scanner of choice, always have a secondary scanner on hand just to make sure your primary scanner or you, the user and ALWAYS weakest link in security, didn't let something slip by. I generally recommend Malwarebytes for that. I also recommend the use of a basic router, even on networks of one computer, to provide another solid layer of security between your computer and the bad guys on the Internet.
it's a has been, washed up, yesterdays news, crapware, there's plenty out there 100x better. I stopped using it with WXP.
It can catch some things that other software may miss. But, Malwarebytes and Zemana, for example, are much better, so it's usually not worth bothering with. This is why, is is extremely rare to ever hear of Spybot these days.
