Anti-Spyware Reviews |
| |
|
Spyware is an insidious
threat. It'll watch what you read and what you do -
and worst of all, it's almost impossible to remove
without damaging your computer! But what one person
can create, another person can remove. Anti-spyware
software is a modern necessity!
We've tested dozens - even hundreds! - of spyware
removal programs. Some of them are great, most of
them get the job done (more or less), and too many
simply don't work. We've gathered the top
contenders in the field, and reviewed them here for
your convenience |

What is Ad-ware?
AdWare is any software application in which
advertising banners are displayed while the program
is running. The authors of these applications
include additional code that delivers the ads, which
can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a
bar that appears on a computer screen. The
justification for AdWare is that it helps recover
programming development costsand helps to hold down
the cost for the user.
AdWare has been criticized for occasionally
including code that tracks a user's personal
information and passes it on to third parties,
without the user's authorization or knowledge. This
practice has been dubbed SpyWare and has prompted an
outcry from computer security and privacy advocates,
including the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
What is ThiefWare?
Thief-Ware is software being used in an unethical or
disagreeable manner. The term does not necessarily
mean that the software is involved in outright
thievery or other serious criminal activity as
determined by law.
Some of the software mentioned places links on
victimized sites for visitors to click on, leading
them away to other competitor sites. Many site
owners would say the software is stealing visitors,
which makes ThiefWare an appropriate name for such
services and software. |
