The Spyware Who Loved Me

Written by Jared Prescott


Continued from page 1

Another obvious clue that your computer has been infected with a spyware package is an abrupt change of your preferred Internet browser’s home page. Spyware packages can reset your email signatures and display advertising content – even while you are offline!

Aggressive prevention One ofrepparttar best methods of protecting your system from spyware is to first become knowledgeable as to what type of software blatantly bundles spyware as part of their "freeware". Peer-to-peer file sharing Kazaa is notorious for including a couple of adware packages. The free version ofrepparttar 107635 nifty WeatherBug, a provider of current temperature and important weather updates to your system's desktop includes adware as part of its download. The free version of media player DivX is another where adware once found itself comfortably at home, but not withrepparttar 107636 recent release ofrepparttar 107637 DivX 5.2 product suite.

“Spyware Nuker” sounds like it should be a good, safe program to load on your system, right? Wrong! It is known to be a false spyware remover. Some ofrepparttar 107638 spyware packages are written to avoid detection, are difficult to uninstall, and frequently leave components installed in your system in order to continue to monitor your activities and then silently reinstall themselves.

The best spyware detection and removal software inoculates your computer to help preventrepparttar 107639 various spyware packages from loading themselves into your operating system. The detection and removal software should be programmed to run automatically either late every evening, or at least once a week – depending onrepparttar 107640 amount of Internet usage and number and types of sites you visit. If your Internet voyages take you across sites that contain pornographic or hacker material, you better runrepparttar 107641 spyware detection software immediately following that visit. Assume you may be infected after you wander acrossrepparttar 107642 less-than-scrupulous sites.

Some ofrepparttar 107643 best spyware detection and removal software is shareware. They include (in alphabetical order): Ad-aware, HijackThis, PestPatrol, Spybot – Search & Destroy, and SpySweeper. My best recommendation would be to download one of these products (my personal favorite is Spybot – Search & Destroy) from http://download.com and consider paying forrepparttar 107644 product you consider to be most suitable for your needs.

There are countless other commercial products, but I have foundrepparttar 107645 shareware products to be more than adequate. If you prefer to pay for a commercial product, there are packages frequently bundled with your favorite anti-virus software (McAfee, Norton, etc.). Even firewall software developer Zone Labs has spyware detection and removal software included in their ZoneAlarm Security Suite.

It is an ugly, ongoing war out there, and spyware is probablyrepparttar 107646 source for most service calls dispatched these days. Don’t allow either your privacy or your personal information to become a casualty in this ongoing battle. It is imperative that all of today’s systems – your system especially – be equipped with spyware detection and removal software. Make certain you takerepparttar 107647 necessary steps to keep your operating system, virus, and spyware software up-to-date.
