A:

Spybot uses a combination of heuristic analysis and signature-based detection to find and eliminate spyware. It looks for known spyware signatures on the system and contrasts them with a list of dangerous threats in the database. Spybot marks the file or process as possibly dangerous when a match is discovered.

Spybot uses heuristic analysis to find suspicious activity or patterns that mimic malware in order to detect new or unknown threats. The software lets users quarantine or delete spyware after it has been identified, protecting sensitive data and preventing system performance issues.
