Best 2 freeware programs against spyware
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007Today we’ll talk about the best two freeware programs against spyware. The first one is Spyware Blaster
This is what it can do:
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.
Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.
Just download it and enable all protection.
The second program is called Spybot Search and Destroy. This is a more complex program but it’s very effective against spyware. It can run when Windows starts, before any components are loaded, and thus, it can remove existing spyware.
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware
