More than one SpyBot? Pay & Free???

[frenchieinme]

I downloaded Spybot. It found 72 items. It asked me to register and pay a fee to remove them. I removed the Spybot and downloaded another Spybot which was free to download. Again after finding 72 items which was suggested to be removed, in order to remove them I have to pay and register. Am I doing something wrong or it is a pay item now?

You must be doing something wrong. Spybot is free. Are you sure it isn't some sound alike program?

Don't pay (but you can contribute)

The one you want is Spybot Search & Destroy (Google that and you'll find it). The paid one is a ripoff of the name and may cause problems with your PC. The only payment for the real Spybot S&D is a requested donation - no forced payment for use.

John also gave you the right answer, but I'm sure we're both glad to hear that you got it all resolved.
