Removing and preventing Spyware has (unfortunately) been very lucrative for most consultants (OK, me). The crux of most users’ problems is that the programs are not updated and the default settings for these programs do NOT scan for all possible problems! So they “sneak” on through!
Software manufactures state that users don’t want to wait a long time for scanning, so they choose a (quicker) default scanning time.
1) Launch program and check for (& install) updates
2) Select “Advanced Mode” from the “Mode” pull-down menu
3) Click on the “Tools” button on the side toolbar
4) Select ALL Tools except for the “Bug Report” (only needed when troubleshooting the SpyBot program)
5) Click on the “Settings” button on the side toolbar
6) Click on “Ignore Products”
7) Select “All Products” – then right-mouse click on the list and “Deselect All” items, but (re)select “DSO Exploit”
8) (Re)immunize to include the newly included “All Products”
9) Click on “Check for problems”
1) Launch program and check for (& install) updates [click on "Check for updates now" — click "Connect" to continue, then "Finish"]

4) Click "Customize" to select this type of scanning
5) Click "Next" to begin scanning.
