Updating the help file for 2.0, we created a list of browers currently supported (for immunization and restricted access shortcuts) by Spybot - Search & Destroy, which we want to share with you. Where we list product versions, those are the ones we tested against; other versions are likely to be supported as well if changes are not too big. Unlisted browsers that are clones of listed browsers are also likely to be supported (e.g. most IE based browsers and many Google Chrome variants use the same cache location and formats).

Avast Antivirus, with database update (VPS: 091203-0, 12/03/2009), detects our software Spybot-S&D and some of its files as the trojan Win32:Delf-MZG.

This is a false positive and it has already been fixed by Avast. Please update your Avast from the previous version (issue 091203-0) to the updated one (091203-1). Then update the program itself (from version 4.8.1356 to 4.8.1368). Restart your computer as requested, and the false positive should be fixed.

More details can be found in discussions at our forum and at the Avast forum.

In case Avast has deleted any of our files, to get Spybot - Search & Destroy back, please uninstall according to this guide, then download a fresh copy of Spybot-S&D 1.6.2 here.
