What is spyware? Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. Also called adware. Free programs, also known as 'freeware, such as Ad-aware & Spybot are generally not a good long term solution for getting rid of spyware. Ad-Aware- real time spyware blocking is not effective. It will catch most spyware programs after they have installed themselves though. There also is no ability to schedule regular scans,  and you cannot restore individual quarantined items. al-time protection alerts interfere with computer usage. Little information about found threats. Piller Development recommends Microsoft's One Care. You can try it free for 90 days. If you choose to purchase it for $50.00 for 3 pcs, you have to have a Microsoft passport (windows live id). Piller Development recommends this product because it works seamlessly with your windows operating systems, (XP & Vista). |
