How to Choose the Best Anti-spyware Software?

Filed under: I Hate Spyware

Spyware infects more than 90% of home PCs (figures from the National Cyber Security Alliance). If you download free games, music, movies and software, or simply browse the internet, your computer is likely infected.

There are many spyware removal software available these days. Some anti-spyware software are heavily promoted by email campaigns or even spam messages but many of them do not provide the security consumers need. Some even install their own adware to the computer with the free download and free trial while others offer no technical support at all.

If you know what you want in anti-spyware programs it may make life much easier for you. For instance if you decide that you want a program that Is free then that will enable you to narrow down your search to maybe around 20 to 50 anti spyware programs. You can then further narrow down your search to the ones that have the fastest scan times etc. But no matter how hard you try you really cannot be sure as to how well the program will work for you. You will also need to take into consideration the fact that many of these programs may cause glitches in your operating system and cause other programs to stop working so you need to make sure that you read everything about the program you want to install.

If you are looking for the best spyware remover that I suggest that you start with reading anti spyware reviews. Try to read reviews from credible sources such as PC Magazine or other similar reliable sources. Since many of these sources put these programs through their paces they would likely point out any bugs and glitches they might cause. You will also get to learn a lot about which programs are good and which are the best. A spyware software comparison of various programs will help you determine which program should work best for you.

To choose the best anti-spyware software, remember to read independent reviews from reliable sources. Do not install any free downloads or run free scans unless you have researched about the software publishers. Installing a poorly designed program or one which is accompanied by hidden applications will do more harm than good to your computer. They may damage your system, create security holes and give you a false sense of security. 

The best anti-spyware software programs are easy to use, have fast scanning speed, provide real time protection and frequent updates, have an extensive and updated detection database, and provide good and prompt technical support.

Virus Protection Guide - Free Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware and Firewall List

Filed under: I Hate Spyware

Anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall are three software crucial in protecting your PC and you cannot go online without them. Did you know that you can get infected within 8 seconds after you go online?

Yes, 8 seconds is the time needed for Sasser, the fastest worm in the internet, to infect your PC and after that, the rest is history. Malicious software can get into your system if you didn’t provide sufficient protection for your PC.

In this article, I will tell you how you can get free anti-virus, anti-spyware, and firewall.

There is one software that provides both spyware and virus removal software. It’s called Spyware Terminator. This software has a built-in anti-virus, the ClamAV. The ClamAV is an open source software and it’s free.

Other than the ClamAV, you can also try the Avast! Antivirus, AVG and Avira Antivir Personal. These are not built-in into the Spyware Terminator. However, you need to remember that one computer can only install one these or it will conflict with each other.

For anti-spyware software, you can try to use the SUPERAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware Pro, and Spybot Search and Destroy. Different with anti-virus, you can have more than one of these installed in your system.

Firewall is another software that you need in your system. It’s a software that monitors the ingoing and outgoing traffic from your PC. I recommend you to install either the Comodo Firewall Pro or ZoneAlarm Firewall.

All of these protection software are crucial in protecting yourself but, knowledge is the most important thing in fighting online threats. I saw people who have protection software but remove spyware from their PC every week due to the lack of knowledge on how to prevent their computer from getting infected by malicious software.

This shows that this people don’t have the knowledge on how they can get infected and therefore, they will get infected every week. So, learn what you can and try to avoid getting infected by online threats.
