Detection range doubled in the past six months

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0100

We're nearing the end of the year, Spybot-S&D 1.6 is out for about half a year now, and 2.0 is nearing beta. An important part of our 2.0 preparations of course evaluating where we could do better, we dug through a heap of statistics, and wanted so share a nice one with you:

Spybot-S&D 1.6 already improved the scan speed a lot, still, people complain about the time a full system scan takes again. This graph shows a "nice" explanation: the number of detection patterns used to detect malware has doubled since the release of 1.6 in July this year, to 343,003 detection patterns in this weeks update.

The graphs first steep increase can be explained with the addition of detections that needed the new capabilities of the 1.6 engine, and should you wonder about the following valley, that was a point where the new capabilities were used to reduce the amount of patterns needed, without actually reducing the detection range.

Conclusion? We have a massively improved detection range, and we're going to improve the scanning time this costs in 2.0 to counter the negative side (speed) of it.

Software of the Year 2008

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0100

This week, we're proud to report about a special event we visited last week. We get our share of "virtual" prizes and are proud about them, but they can't beat a physical trophy, which, sitting always present on a shelf, is a very nice sign of bundled encouraging appreciation by you, our users.

Last week, Deutsche Telekom's download portal softwareload.de presented the results of their Software of the Year 2008 survey in thirteen categories, and Spybot - Search & Destroy made the Gold prize as best Freeware, personally presented in 14 pounds of glass that'll look quite impressive among its colleagues. We thank all users who have voted in our favour there, even though we were lazy enough to not even advertise the voting here.

We're not just sitting on these merits of course, but are working hard on Spybot-S&D 2.0. We've justed added a screenshot gallery to the already existing weekly blog and project tools milestone for those curious about the future.

Malware Removal Guides

Sat, 08 Nov 2008 00:00:00 +0100

This weeks news start with our forums new Malware Removal Guides part. As you hopefully have noticed, we try to write down a few sentences about each threat Spybot-S&D detects. Thinking on how we could improve that service in preparation for Spybot-S&D 2.0, we decided to add more information. Removal guides are surely not a new idea, and not all can be really complete, since malware likes to use hiding methods that make them difficult to detect, and textual explanations already start to lack when it comes to randomized filenames. Still, some information is better than none, and we decided we'll just try and give our best in describing manual removal. Rolling out hundreds, if not thousands of guides will take a few days, maybe weeks, but you can already see the first ones here and comment here.

The Spybot 2.0 blog also has a new entry on usability for error handling concepts.

An outlook at Spybot 2.0

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Spybot 2.0: Patrick Kolla, our chief software engineer, has started a series of small blog posts on features of Spybot-S&D 2.0, starting with a blog post about modularization, with more entries on various other topics already waiting in queue.

Recommendations: our page with recommendations about security software has been out of date for a while, so we decided to go ahead and rewrite it. You can view the new article here and comment on our blog here.

The Wiki, a new FileAlyzer, Downloads...

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0200

SpybotWiki: our wiki, which has been restricted to logins of forum users until the OpenSBI system was finished, is now open to all readers, forum account or not. Stay tuned for the final release of OpenSBI!

FileAlyzer 2: a first beta release of our file analysis tool created to help you understanding various file formats, and designed to support OpenSBI, is now available as the first of our tools to reach version 2.0. It's new multi-file interface allows you to easily compare multiple files, all detail pages have been updated to make use of XP/Vista style controls when available, and its speed has been improved to show up without delays now.

Download portal: now if you are wondering where to download FileAlyzer 2, or other betas, previews and smaller downloads, we have a new download portal available that replaces many download links on the website and in scattered forum posts. The FileAlyzer download page there is a good example for the useful details we added to most downloads - screenshots, supported Operating Systems, and hashes to verify your download.
