Spyware Blockers

If you ever wonder why someone would create spyware, you need only look toward Washington, DC for the answer: money. The number of spyware programs that promise free “bailout” money is growing. The routes of infection are typical: email, infected ads, hijack sites… the list goes on.

Get an email, follow a link, get a spyware infection. The email or popup ad may ask for personal information with the promise of bailout money to follow. What follows instead is a host of nasty spyware programs that steal user information like account names and passwords, private financial data, or spy on browsing habits and then deliver a load of unwanted pop-up advertisements.

Auctiva.com, a popular Web site that distributes tools for eBay online auctions became infected with a Trojan last week. As visitors came to the sites, their PCs were infected with the Trojan. At one point, Google’s anti-malware detection services picked up the infection and began warning visitors that the site had been compromised.
According to Auctiva.com, the malware originated in China and was designed to take advantage of a known flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Some users were reporting multiple malware infections after having been hit with the initial Trojan. The site has since cleaned up and patched its servers, and suggests that users load anti-virus and anti-malware protection on their computers, and update their operating systems to include all of the latest security patches.

Users Ignore Warnings

Some users reported getting infected even after reading Google’s warnings about possible malware on the site. The episode provides an important lesson: even when infected sites are detected and warnings are issued, users may ignore all of the information they’re being given and risk a visit to the site anyway.
This is especially difficult to prevent when the site is one that users are familiar with. Users don’t recognize that even their favorite sites can be the subjects of a malware attack. Simply because the site didn’t pose a danger yesterday doesn’t mean that the site is still clean today.

Yes, it’s true. Many malware producers are making their living on creating both a problem and its solution. Malware masquerading as anti-spyware software is nothing new, but the number of people who are getting burned by rogue anti-spyware software is growing.

Anti-spyware software may have all of the characteristics of the spyware you’re trying to get rid of. It promises to do something you want. It preys upon unsuspecting consumers. It looks completely legitimate. It may even be freely downloadable.

Rogue Anti-Spyware Poses A Big Problem

What does rogue anti-spyware do? The same things that regular spyware does. Its effect may range from trying to make you believe (falsely) you have spyware loaded on your computer and need additional (usually worthless) products. It can also download all kinds of adware, Trojans and other malware that the rogue program can then “discover” and “fix.” (Or not.)

The rogue anti-spyware program relies on the fact that many people don’t differentiate between anti-spyware products, assuming instead that all anti-spyware programs are equally capable. It also relies on our seemingly innate desire to get something for nothing.

So how big is the rogue anti-spyware problem? Big and growing. Analysts believe that there are hundreds of rogue anti-spyware programs in the open right now. The fact remains that no matter how strongly consumers are warned about “free downloads” some users won’t carefully research these software packages before downloading them to their computers.

You need anti-spyware protection you can trust. XoftSpy SE from Spywareblockers.org is an excellent tool for ridding your computer of existing spyware and malware, and preventing infections from occurring in the futire. XoftSpy SE relies on a comprehensive database of known malware, adware and spyware programs and their numerous variants to find, disable and remove these bad actors from your computing environment. Once your environment is clean, XoftSpy SE keeps working to make sure your computer stays that way.

You control XoftSpy SE and how often your system is checked and cleaned. XoftSpy SE also works amicably with other spyware and malware removal programs to provide a blanket of protection over your computer. With XoftSpy SE, you can rest easier knowing that your computer, your surfing habits and your personal information will remain secure, even if you inadvertently visit a compromised Web site or download a malicious application.

Don’t rely on luck. Choose your anti-spyware software carefully. Look no farther than Spywareblockers.org for the real protection you need to surf safely.

Malware designers are clever and spend a great deal of their design time trying to figure out how to avoid detection. From the perspective of efficiency, designs that evade the most popular malware are going to be the most successful. Users, after all, tend to think that all malware protection is created equal, and once you have an anti-malware suite on your computer, you’re set for life.

Not so. Many thoughtful users run multiple malware protection programs on their computers. This strategic approach provides multiple layers of protection and increases the chances that a malware infection will be recognized and stopped by at least one of the resident anti-malware programs. Further, multiple malware programs that identify the same threat confirm the existence of malware on the host computer. Sometimes, discovering that you have a problem is half the battle.

XoftSpy SE Provides An Added Level Of Protection

XoftSpy SE from Spywareblockers.org works well with other anti-malware and anti-virus programs. You don’t need to choose between malware protection products, and having a second (or even third) application that checks your computer regularly can help you spot and solve problems that clever malware designers hope you never find.

XoftSpy SE uses a database with nearly one-quarter million spyware and variant signatures to detect and disable or prevent malware from taking up residence on your computer. XoftSpy SE doesn’t interfere with any programs (other than malware) on your computer.

XoftSpy SE lets you choose how often your computer is scanned for noxious adware, spyware and malware that can put your computer, your private data, your family, or your employees at risk. The product is updated regularly, so you can be certain that your computer is protected against even the newest Trojans, keyloggers, worms, rootkits and other nasty, unauthorized software that may otherwise find itself on your computer.

XoftSpy SE runs quietly in the background, watching over your computer and preventing others from watching what you’re doing. With XoftSpy SE, your browsing is safe and secure, free from the prying eyes of third parties who are after your account information, passwords, credit card numbers, Social Security number and other valuable data you store on your computer.

XoftSpy SE also frees you from putting up with unwanted advertising streams for products you don’t want and didn’t ask for. It protects your family computer from malware that children may unknowingly download, too. Don’t take chances with your computer security. Even if malware protection is already on your computer, add a second layer of security with XoftSpy SE from Spywareblockers.org.

Adware can be more than just an annoying nuisance. It can be difficult to get rid of, impossible to control and it can load your computer with unwanted, irrelevant and just plain offensive advertising. The loading cycle for the ads can slow the performance of your computer, and frequently, adware is accompanied by other malicious software that observes your browsing habits, reports your private information to third parties and occupies space on your computer that you didn’t authorize and don’t want to give up.

Where does adware come from and how does it get onto your computer? While some people liken adware to a virus, it’s technically not viral. You download Adware onto your computer. You may not know or understand that you’re loading this annoying software. It may be bundled with another software package that you like or want. Unfortunately, when you load the program you want, you also get the one you don’t want.

The information about adware may or may not be buried in user agreements or terms of service. You might pick up adware from visiting a compromised Web site, clicking on an advertisement or following a link that comes to you in an email from a friend. In the past, adware authors may have relied solely on their “product” to get you to download and install it. These days, many adware companies aren’t asking; adware is simply loaded onto your computer, whether you like it or not.

One such example of “bundled” adware is Messenger Plus! Live, an add-on software package that extends the function of Windows Live Messenger. The software allows users to customize their copy of Windows Live Messenger with sounds, colors and even self-programmed adjustments to the software. It also comes bundled with adware that serves up ad after ad after ad.

For the adult user, this advertising tsunami can be annoying and difficult to disable, but Messenger Plus! Live has a special appeal to teenage users. These users are bombarded with ads for credit cards, online gambling sites and other products that are normally reserved for adults.

If you have children in your home, or you work in an environment where children are present, you have to protect your computers from this kind of assault. Spywareblockers.org offers XoftSpy SE, an excellent anti-spyware, -malware and –adware program that can detect and remove existing infections and protect your computer from additional threats. You control the behavior of XoftSpy SE and the level of protection you get.
