I don't like the version 2.x, but Spybot is always the best anti-spyware IMO, so I use the portable version 1.6.2 in my USB stick, with updated signatures of course :)
It's easy, fast and lightweight.
To be honest, this software isn't as good as what it used to be. I used to love this software as much as Ad-Aware SE, but since then with Ad-aware, it came crashing down, and we were left with crappy anti-spyware choices until more anti-viruses integrate anti-spyware. As of today, it's no longer the great software it used to be of when it was the year of 2002-2007. Fortunately, there are better options such as MalwareBytes, SUPERAntiSpyware or even Windows Defender by our side.

An old favorite ..still around. Spybot - Search & Destroy 2.1 Stable release 2.9.82 / December 23, 2021. However, it is slow, now seems backdated, and seems to lack the visual appeal it had in the past. Its Tweaks seem worthwhile though. "Spybot – Search & Destroy protects your computer against malware. Spybot Anti-Beacon helps to stop your data being sent out to third parties. "
Came on my PC after it went to the mend. It's a great program. Doesn't use much CPU either. My only problem with it is it won't scan unless you open up the program and press scan, there's no automatic scanning feature. Also it's not updated as often as I'd like. Pretty good though.
Finally common sense has caught SSD: boot media.
One cannot clean an infected OS from within the infected OS.
