下載本軟體視同已同意此軟體授權協定.

I.免費軟體
首先, the reasons why Spybot-S&D is free:

I.a. 奉獻
我要把 Spybot-Samp;D 獻給世上最完美的她 :)

I.b. 二進位
使用者購買軟體後得到了什麼? 一堆零與一的數字而已. 假如是以藝術品的方式散佈, I could understand paying it. But if the main goal of their order is to earn money - by fees or ads - I don't like it!

I.c. 議定
This means that I grant you the license to use Spybot-S&D as much as you like. But if you like it, I ask two things of you: say a prayer for me (and the most wonderful girl while you're at it ;) ) to your god - or whatever you believe - and wish us some luck.

II. 限制

II.a. 反向工程
您幾乎不能使用任何軟體進行反向工程. 假如任何人士質疑程式碼的 honesty, 在特定的限制下, 本人將給與一家可信賴的機構, 像是大學, 進行更為深入的研究 (例如, 在限定時間內, 給與一件軟體副本, 並且在評估時間過後移除).

II.b. 擔保
我盡力保持Spybot-S&D 的程式碼穩定, 並且保證沒有置入任何程式碼特意損害使用者的系統.
不過, 利用 Spybot-S&D 移除威脅有時影響系統核心; 我無法保證你的系統[在移除威脅後]還能如同運作. 譬如說, 間諜軟體感染過的宿主可能停止運作. 除此之外, 我不能保證 Spybot-S&D 能夠移除系統上所有的間諜軟體, 也不能保證不會誤判. 每個項目將附上問題的來源(位置) 以便使用者的驗證; 如果您還有其他問題, 請進入 Forum (英文) 詢問.

II.c. 免責聲明
在任何情況下， 本人均不為任何使用 Spybot-S&D 所造成的損害承擔任何賠償責任.

II.d. Use of application in whole
免費使用僅限於完整的利用方式. 只利用部分元件, 像是資料庫或外掛, 是不允許的方式.

II.e. 企業授權
As companies are not individual persons and would have problems fullfilling the above terms, there is a license for corporate users that can be found at safer-networking.ie.

III. 散佈
散佈本軟體的相關規定於下

III.a. 私下散佈
在不修改這份授權書或更動安裝程式之中任何檔案的原則之下, 允許贈送無限制數量的軟體副本給與他人.

III.b. 鏡像伺服器
如果想要鏡像 Spybot-S&D, 在沒有修改程式的封存檔的情形下, 請自由取用. 如果想要得到最新的重大更新消息, 您可以定閱郵件清單.
官方鏡像伺服器需要遵守鏡像準則.

III.c. 出版
在你寫信給我, 敘述你的需求, 並取得書面同意後, 你可以將軟體附送(贈品)於你出版的書籍或雜誌 (或其他形式的媒體). 我要求一份I request a copy of the media in which SpyBot-S&D is published as compensation.

IV. 隱私權

IV.a. 程式隱私權 (離線)
Even though Spybot-S&D scans your system, it will not search specifically for any personally identifiable information. Everything that is not detected as a possible threat will be ignored. Possible threats will be shown and, if log options are switched on, written to a local log file.

IV.b. 程式隱私權 (線上)
Spybot-S&D has online functionality in 5 cases:
1. 更新: The Update function uses only HTTP requests (like your web browser does) to download an info file containing update descriptions (this is called spybotsd.ini, and it won't be deleted, so you can look at it) and to download the update files you select. No information other than those your browser would also show will be transmitted.
2. News: The News function opens an IE window integrated into Spybot-S&D. This is the same as if you would load the News page on my main homepage in Internet Explorer.
3. 臭蟲報告: The bug report function sends the problem description you enter and an automatically created report to our support staff. You can modify the extent of the report on the settings page, and you can preview this contents while you are writing the bug report.
Files listed in the attach box will be sent as attachments. The header will contain the information (sender name & address) you've entered in settings.
4. Product info & opt-out links: those may often link to dubious pages. You may open them at your own risk, but you should take care to meet some security measures (like firewall, latest IE updates, updated antivirus software) first.
5. 其餘連結: Due to the nature of the Internet I cannot give you any guarantee regarding other links found on my web pages (neither my own, the support forum, or the donation site). But I have put my trust in them and do not believe any harm can come from them.
