From the last post you know that there are many FREE programs to protect and defend your windows. There are free Antivirus softwares like AVG antivirus, avast! antivirus. There are also Firewall freewares like Comodo Firewall Pro. so, How about Anti-Spyware? Unlike viruses and worms, spyware does not usually self-replicate. Like many recent viruses, however, spyware — by design — exploits infected computers for commercial gain. Typical tactics furthering this goal include delivery of unsolicited pop-up advertisements; theft of personal information (including financial information such as credit card numbers); monitoring of Web-browsing activity for marketing purposes; or routing of HTTP requests to advertising sites.

What is Spyware ?

Spyware is computer software that is installed surreptitiously on a personal computer to intercept or take partial control over the user’s interaction with the computer, without the user’s informed consent.

While the term spyware suggests software that secretly monitors the user’s behavior, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring. Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software, redirecting Web browser activity, accessing websites blindly that will cause more harmful viruses, or diverting advertising revenue to a third party. Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs. In an attempt to increase the understanding of spyware, a more formal classification of its included software types is captured under the term privacy-invasive software.

In response to the emergence of spyware, a small industry has sprung up dealing in anti-spyware software. Running anti-spyware software has become a widely recognized element of computer security best practices for Microsoft Windows desktop computers. A number of jurisdictions have passed anti-spyware laws, which usually target any software that is surreptitiously installed to control a user’s computer. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware)

Did you know that numerous programs tested against Spyware Doctor detected only small fraction of Spyware and completely removed an even smaller amount? Also most of them were unable to effectively block Spyware in real time from being installed on users PC in the first place. The new generation of malware requires a new generation of defensive products. Such products need to provide stronger active protection and broader spectrum detection.

Many programmers and some commercial firms have released products designed to remove or block spyware. There are many good anti-spyware programs e.g. Ad-Aware SE, Spybot - Search & Destroy, WebRoot SpySweeper, GIANT AntiSpyware, rebranding it as Windows AntiSpyware, Windows Defender, HijackThis, XoftSpy SE, Spyware Doctor and CounterSpy.
