Complete support
for 64 bit will be available in future versions.

address *.*.*.* at port 80, What should I do ?
When you launch SpyDllRemover, it tries to connect to
our web server to see if newer version of
SpyDllRemover is available. Other than this, SpyDllRemover does not
connect to any server on its own.

this intended one ?
Please read the FAQ 3.

and I am not able to access some of the Process/Dlls. Why ?

able to access any of the system Processes and Processes belonging to
other users. For full access (Vista/Win7), you need to run SpyDllRemover
