Spyware Remover Tools
A war is being waged right now with skirmishes happening right in your household and in millions of American homes.
This is the war against spyware which pits government regulators and business sectors against developers of software which invade people's computers through surreptitious means.
What these spyware programmers do is trick people into downloading some desirable software offerings from the internet which are designed to secretly extract information on the user.
The spyware authors in turn sell the compiled data to third parties for commercial purposes or worst of all to be used in fraud, such as identity theft.
Spywares not only invades the users' privacy but also disrupt the operations of the computer, in effect hi-jacking many functions of the PC.
These clandestine programs can install additional software, redirect user's web browsing and alter PC settings which all conspire to dramatically slow down internet connection speeds and overall computer operation.
To counter the deleterious effects of these cloak-and-dagger programs, spyware remover tools have been developed and concerned business groups banded themselves into groups to combat the spyware problem.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the US government's consumer watchdog, has launched an educational campaign on how to avoid spyware infection.
The FTC has also brought to court some marketing companies behind spyware attacks, and millions of dollars of penalties were imposed on the offending firms.
What seems funny is that some spyware authors sued in court defend themselves by insisting on the legality of end-user license agreement (EULA) that goes with the offending download.
Habitually, such EULAs in small print of legalese are essentially ignored by PC users.
Nonetheless, spyware authors claim that just by clicking the "I agree" in the EULA, there is already a sign of consent and the contract is binding.
While this EULA legality issue remains controversial, PC users should not be trigger happy in clicking such online documents, especially if it is from a website of dubious origins.
Another sound advice is to install spyware removal tools, two of which would be ideal.
The first should provide real-time security to block incoming spyware, while the other should be dedicated to periodically scanning the computer for any infection that may have penetrated the security system.
