admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:32:16 +0000

There are many anti-spyware that are free to scan your computer. A good number of of these programs work almost at par and in many cases even better than many of the non-free versions. Why go for a non-free version when you can find the same product for free? If you are interested in downloading free spyware removal tools, search in Yahoo for terms like "free spyware remover", or something similar and you can get a good number of scanners. Nevertheless, take care before installing spyware removal tools as there are many fake spyware removal tools.

Many "rouge" anti-spyware themselves contain spyware or viruses. For added security, always download and install spyware removal tools from popular sources like Download.com. These repositories list software applications only after a thorough analysis. In addition, they also allow user reviews which are quite helpful in giving you a better idea about the software application you wish to install.

When you open any binary application from online, it is advised to scan with a virus scanner before opening/installing. Many questionable spyware removal software can be discovered by scanning with genuine anti-virus scanners. A quick scanning will stop questionable spyware removal tools from being installed on your personal computer. Sometimes you may also come across pop up messages or fake Windows dialog boxes reading "WARNING! Your computer is infected! Buy [the name of the software] to remove it!". Many times these are rogue spyware removal tools that infect your computer with spyware and adware if you download them.

One of the frequently used free anti-spyware software is Microsoft Windows defender. Windows defender is included by default in the latest OS–Vista and is available as a free download for Windows Xp. You need a genuine Windows OS to be able to download and use it on your computer. It protects your PC against popup ads, slow system performance, and security threats from spyware and adware by detecting and deleting known spyware and malwate from your system in real-time.

Another good free anti-spyware is Ad Aware Free edition. It is free for personal use only and it shouldn’t be used for business purposes. The latest version has many new improvements like improved malware detection against spyware, adware, trojan horses & hijackers, fraud tools & fake applications, keyloggers and improved root-kit scanning system. Ad-Aware Free is also extremely light on CPU and RAM.

Spyware and security

admin — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 10:12:11 +0000

Spyware is malicious software application or small piece of code that is written purposefully to obtain the user’s personal data like credit card numbers, social security number, passwords, etc. or to spy on the user’s online activities. Spyware is usually written in such a way that it is installed without the computer user’s knowledge and in most cases the computer user may not be even aware about the fact that his/her online activities are being recorded. most malicious spyware can also hijack internet explorer, deliver unsolicited popup advertisements and download and install other software, viruses or more adware. Spyware detection and deletion can be sometimes problematic because the files are often hidden from the layman user.

At first the word "spyware" meant hardware that was intended for espionage. However, after it was mentioned in a press conference in 2000 by Gregor Freud, a security expert at Zone Labs, the word has taken on its present meaning. Today, almost all the people who are familiar with computers and the World Wide Web might be aware of virus programs, spyware and adware.

Spyware programs commonly get installed by making use of security loopholes in the computer software or when the user mistakenly downloads infested or "tagged" from removable media. The primary difference between virus programs and spyware programs is that dissimilar to viruses, spyware programs do not replicate that is, make exact copies of themselves and spread to other systems. Some trojans also download and install spyware programs without the user’s consent.

Windows is more vulnerable to spyware and other such malware. Apple’s MacOS X and other operating systems like GNU/Linux and BSD are less vulnerable compared to Microsoft Windows. There are differing views on why there are few spyware programs aimed at GNU/linux and PC BSD. Some security experts that these operating systems are inherently less vulnerable and it is challenging to code spyware to function on these platforms. Other security analysts claim that because the use of these is much lower when compared with Windows, spyware authors don’t think that it is worth the effort to write spyware specifically for these operating systems.

If you use a Windows personal computer, it is advised to regularly update your operating system to protect yourself from spyware and other malware. Windows update files contain bug fixes and patches to software loopholes. It is also recommended to install and use a better browser like Mozilla Firefox or Opera in place of the default browser-Internet explorer. These web browsers are much more safe and can help you in keeping your computer free from spyware.

You should also install a good virus remover and keep it upto date. Most good anti-virus scanners can disinfect spyware and adware. However, you should also install an anti-spyware software along with anti-virus software for maximum security. A hardware firewall is also suggested. Most anti-virus applications or Internet security suites, as they are called, have a firewall as well.
