Spyware consists of dangerous files/programs that monitor your computer activity. They can change registries and computer settings, and even send the personal data they collect onto their creators. An enormous threat to personal privacy, you will want to keep your personal data safe from these malicious attackers. Some programs, called keyloggers, can even record your keystrokes and collect your bank account numbers or other information. To protect against Spyware, you will want to join the millions of others who have already downloaded the award-winning freeware program, Spybot Search and Destroy. Not only does Spybot provide an excellent scanner for finding and removing unwanted malicious files, it also provides a firewall which requires your approval before programs can change your computer and an Immunization tool that protects your computer against known harmful programs. Spybot even works on computers as old as Windows ME, and can be a useful alternative for those struggling to find quality computer protection for an aging computer (computers older than Windows 2000 often have program compatibility issues).Another name you will often hear used in conjunction with Spybot Search and Destroy is Ad-Aware. Like Spybot, Ad-Aware is completely free to install and provides an excellent scanner for removing Spyware. TrendMicro provides a free online scanner called Housecall, as well as a program for the more advanced user, HiJack This. HiJack This allows you to see a registry of files which could prove harmful to your system organized by file type, and instantly delete them.A very powerful tool, it should be used only by those who know what they are doing.For those looking to stay aware of today’s newest security products for fighting Spyware, PC Magazine will prove a useful name to know. PC Magazine provides numerous free reviews and product comparisons in the Spyware and Security section of their website.
