Spybot Search & Destroy, is an Anti-Spyware program. It will take care
of an extensive list of known malwares, search for them, and destroy or
delete them.
Besides having a system scanning function, it also have the capability
of "watching" your system activity. For instance, when surfing the net,
it may block certain malicious activity.
One interesting detail of it, is that it has an Imunizer - that is, it
will prevent your system from future attacks, even if they are not yet
at your machine. At least, that is what they attempt to do.
It does come in both a free version, and a paid for flavor. Main
difference, from what I can make out, is that the paid for version will
automatically update its databases, whereas the free version requires
you to do so once a week or so. Further, it seems the paid for version
will have some extra watchdogs hanging around your system, just to make
sure even less intruders will have their chance.
Yesterday morning, I did find my system acting up on me. For one thing,
the fan kept spinning more than usual, and Thunderbird and WE did not go
hand in hand as they should. Well, and just in general, I found it was
time for a system cleanup. I ran Spybot, it found some 20 issues, which
I asked it to automatically do with, as it desired. And now, my system
is back to good performance, and I can write and edit my emails as usual
again. Apparently, some strange stuff had sneaked in here. Not saying
this is the ONE AND ONLY software to go for. I regularly run a handful
security packages here. But at least it is worth a try with the Spybot
cleaner. A few days ago, I ran Malwarebytes, and although it took care
of some of the issues on the machine, it obviously did not do all of
them. This not to hold one against the other, but just to underline the
importance of scrubbing your PC with different tools and detergents
every now and then.
Spybot has their own homepage, which you could search on the net, to get
the more full picture of their software and services.

If you are asking about Spybot Search & Destroy, then Yes, it is
accessible enough.
You have to use the mousekeys some, but then again, which program now
aday does not require you to do so?
Also, I find that it is easier to run the different parts of the
package, off from the SysTray, instead of trying to operate the main
control panel of the package. Go to the SysTray, arrow to the Spybot
Icon, and press Shift-F10 or the App-key. Then arrow down to the
individual task you are looking for, like Update, Immunize or System
scan, and hit Enter. The chosen software will open. Here hit Alt-T for
choosing Task, and use the arrow keys to make your selection, before
hitting Enter. To read the results, and the progress of the task, you
need your mousekeys.
Like I said, accessible enough, and mainly does a pretty good job. Just
ran a scan this morning, and got an end to some buggy behavior on my
system.
Please note, I only have tried the free version of the software, cannot
speak for any differences in the paid version.
