April'07, creaters of Spybot - Search & Destroy announce that they received the logo "Works with Vista" for their 1.3 and 1.4 versions.


Dec.'06 about betas and updates etc. Spybot TeaTimer Vista Info
Early Oct.'06 there was a downtime due to the replacement of the servers for the download website.

Aug,'06, new Spybot-S&D for Windows Mobile. Makers say that they're aware that this is controversial, a some people think that speaking about viruses on cell phones is just a hype, while others talk about multiple infection attempts in crowded places. Spybot-S&D finds that it is better to protect yourself before something happens than to do it afterwards. PocketPCs and Smartphones based on Windows are becoming more popular, and it's much easier for malware makers to target the Windows platform Windows than other platforms.

June 23 '06, as Microsofts new Beta 2 for Windows Vista is available to the public a couple of days now, S-S&D creators announce that all their tests so far have shown that Spybot-S&D is completely compatible with Vista for scanning, immunizing, permanent monitoring, updating & tools, except for a minor graphical glitch.

(S-S&D creators further notice that Microsoft has misunderstood a broken server during Spybot-S&D update for an incompatibility when testing it, so when you're installing Spybot-S&D and Vista warns you about an incompatibility when installing, just go ahead and install anyway. S-S&D creators already discussing this with Microsoft and the warning should be gone very shortly.)

S-S&D creators indicate (march'06) improvements on the update situation in order to avoid bad checksum errors. - some call it spyboxsearchanddestroy. It's best to choose an update mirror closer to your location.
