Safer Networking heeft de vijfde bètarelease van versie 2.0 van Spybot Search & Destroy uitgebracht. Spybot is een bekende speler in de wereld van het opsporen en verwijderen van spyware, adware en malware. Het kan de computer controleren op de aanwezigheid van foute software, maar kan ook de browser- en systeeminstellingen aanpassen, waardoor het voor malware moeilijker wordt om de computer binnen te dringen. Versie 2.0 heeft niet alleen een nieuw uiterlijk gekregen, de software is ook sneller en gemakkelijker in het gebruik geworden. In deze release zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
