8:29 am	The Difference of Adware, Spyware and Anti-virus Adware, spyware and computer virus share some similarities, one of which is that all three are major nuisances for computer users. Let's differentiate the three. Spyware is software that does not intentionally harm your computer. What they do is that they create pathways wherein someone else aside from the computer owner can communicate with the computer. cool test 2 Normally spywares record the various types of web sites you visit which are later used by web advertisers to allow them to send you unwanted emails and pop-ups. This is why spyware are usually frowned upon and greatly avoided. They are more intrusive than adware. Spyware have their own separate executable programs which allow them to record your keystrokes, scan files on your hard disks and look at other applications that you use including but not limited to chat programs, cookies and Web browser settings. The spyware then will send the information that it had gathered to the spyware author. The agent will then use this information for advertising and marketing purposes. They even sell the information to advertisers and other parties. Adware, on the other hand, are more legitimate form of freeware. Similar to spyware, adwares are advertising materials which are packaged into a software or program and are installed automatically once that particular program or software is added into the computer system. Some forms of adware, on the other hand, download advertising contents as a particular application is being utilized. It is quite unfortunate that most of the adware programs take the form of spywares that is they track and report user information to program authors. Some signs of spyware infections include pop-up ads that seem to be not related to the site you are viewing. More often than not, spyware pop-ups are advertisements about adult contents. Also if you notice your computer slowing down, there's a big chance that spywares and its other components have found their way in your operating system. When the Windows desktop also takes a longer time to load, its best to scan your computer for possible spyware infections. Meanwhile, viruses are destructive form of software. They were purely designed and created for one purpose alone: to wreck havoc to your computer. They destroy whatever they come in contact to and will initiate self replication and infect as many components of the computer's operating system or network as possible. Nowadays, a lot of anti-virus software also provides spyware and adware scanning and removal utilities. Some programs, however, are focused on located and deleting or destroying spyware and adware programs. Whether is an anti-virus software or a anti-spyware dedicated scanner, they both search your computer and identify any spyware and virus installed on your system. They then remove it as well as their components located in the system registry among other places in your computer. It is therefore, good to regularly update your virus or spyware scanner to ensure that your computer is protected from the thousands of spyware and viruses in the internet. Never be fooled from ads that claim that their products only contain adware. These adware maybe spyware in disguised and are just waiting to be deployed for them to gather your information. Learn to setup firewall systems and always block pop-up blockers to minimize computer infection and ensure the security of all your computer files. Current Mood: ditzy (Comment on this)

Its no wonder then why its very hard nowadays to keep your computers free of unwanted advertisements. As if spams and viruses are not bad enough, people invented spyware and adware, which basically work together to bring your Internet connection experience to a crawl, as well as bombard your computer with popup advertisements, and compromise your privacy and security. You surf the net today. The next day, you are surprised to find the homepage of your browser changed to a rundown site and your computer desktop has a new program that you dont remember ever installing. Adware, also known as advertising supported software, is a package that automatically downloads, displays, or plays advertisements to a personal computer almost right after installation of software or use of application. It may also install an extra component, which feeds your computer advertising, often through the delivery of popup advertisements or installation of a new toolbar in the browser. cool test 1 Other adware may take over your browser and redirect you to sites that you dont really want to go to. More often than not, adware is a legitimate source of income for many companies that offer software to users for free. Eudora, an e-mail program, is often cited as a good example of this. You can purchase the e-mail program or run Eudora in a so-called sponsored mode. In the mentioned mode, the program displays an advertisement window and more or less three toolbar links. Whats good with this program is that it doesnt keep an eye on your computer use or even give away important information about you. This kind of adware only serves paid advertisements within it. Once you quit using Eudora, the advertisements stop running in your computer system. You surf the net today, doing some on-line banking and settling of your credit card account. The next day, you go to the mall. In need of cash, you try to withdraw money from the automated teller machine. To your horror, all of your money is gone. Spyware covertly monitors your Internet and computer use. Some spyware are malicious, in such a way that some collect passwords, user IDs, credit card numbers, and some other sensitive details about the user. Spyware is somewhat similar to the Trojan horse (a program that claims to rid the computer of virus, but introduces virus instead) since you can download a freeware but then your computer will be infected by something else the spyware itself. Besides giving a user problems connected to privacy and ethics, spyware robs you through usage of the computers memory, as well as eating of bandwidth (amount of information that can be conveyed in a specific period of time), making Internet exploration slower than ever. The spyware may also cause your computer to crash or become unstable. Licensing terms are expected to contain warnings as regards the installation of a spyware program that may come with the downloading of the needed program. However, because of the size of the text, these agreements may not be read completely. There you have it the menaces of our computer use. But since you are aware about the difference and the circumstances surrounding their installation and effects, you will be able to take proper precautions.

Unfortunately, anti virus programs are not designed to detect other types of threats and if you are not careful, you may unwittingly install adware and spyware into your system and once this happens, uninstalling these programs can become problematic. For one thing, most spyware can go undetected in your system. You will continue on your regular computer and Internet habits without realizing that your privacy is immensely violated and your security is greatly hindered. Since spyware can go undetected and you can continue to use your computer and the Internet as usual, there is no need to worry about uninstalling spyware, right Wrong.

On the other hand, adware is used by companies to infect your computer with unsolicited ads. The most problematic kinds are the ones that indiscriminately pop ads on to your screen even if you are not viewing their site or using the parent program that launched the adware. In fact, in some cases, adware continues to work into your system long after you uninstalled the program it came bundled with. Given the security risks, the invasion of your right to privacy, and the annoying effects of spyware and adware, you will be wise to uninstall these programs from your computer.

You surf the net today. The next day, you are surprised to find the homepage of your browser changed to a rundown site and your computer desktop has a new program that you dont remember ever installing. Adware, also known as advertising supported software, is a package that automatically downloads, displays, or plays advertisements to a personal computer almost right after installation of software or use of application. It may also install an extra component, which feeds your computer advertising, often through the delivery of popup advertisements or installation of a new toolbar in the browser. Other adware may take over your browser and redirect you to sites that you dont really want to go to. More often than not, adware is a legitimate source of income for many companies that offer software to users for free. Eudora, an e-mail program, is often cited as a good example of this. You can purchase the e-mail program or run Eudora in a so-called sponsored mode. In the mentioned mode, the program displays an advertisement window and more or less three toolbar links. Whats good with this program is that it doesnt keep an eye on your computer use or even give away important information about you. This kind of adware only serves paid advertisements within it. Once you quit using Eudora, the advertisements stop running in your computer system. You surf the net today, doing some on-line banking and settling of your credit card account. The next day, you go to the mall. In need of cash, you try to withdraw money from the automated teller machine. To your horror, all of your money is gone. Spyware covertly monitors your Internet and computer use. Some spyware are malicious, in such a way that some collect passwords, user IDs, credit card numbers, and some other sensitive details about the user. Spyware is somewhat similar to the Trojan horse (a program that claims to rid the computer of virus, but introduces virus instead) since you can download a freeware but then your computer will be infected by something else the spyware itself. Besides giving a user problems connected to privacy and ethics, spyware robs you through usage of the computers memory, as well as eating of bandwidth (amount of information that can be conveyed in a specific period of time), making Internet exploration slower than ever. The spyware may also cause your computer to crash or become unstable. Licensing terms are expected to contain warnings as regards the installation of a spyware program that may come with the downloading of the needed program. However, because of the size of the text, these agreements may not be read completely my test 1. There you have it the menaces of our computer use. But since you are aware about the difference and the circumstances surrounding their installation and effects, you will be able to take proper precautions. You will be now more careful about downloading free software and programs from the Internet. Current Mood: satisfied (Comment on this)
