After you finish installing Spybot, you’ll be asked to run the Spybot program and a program called TeaTimer.

I accept all the defaults when installing Spybot. Spybot-S&D is free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. Spybot – Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications.

It takes about 15 minutes for Spybot to immunize my PC.

The reason I do that is because I run Spybot-Search & Destroy at 2:00am. In my previous article automatically shutting down your PC, I showed how to shut your PC down automatically at 3:00am. This article is about setting it up to run automatically. Spybot – Search and Destroy will keep your PC free from Spyware for FREE. I run Spybot – Search & Destroy every night at 2:00am. Well, here is one way to help keep your PC pretty darn clean.

Seems like a lot of folks have trouble with keeping their PCs free from Spyware.
