Spyware was in headlines for the first time in 1999 when a freeware game called ” Elf Bowling” circulated with spying software along with it. Since then spywares are creating a havoc in the computer world. Some of the downloadable software comes with a licensing agreement that a spyware program will be installed along with the requested software. But most of us do not go through the agreement properly.
Spyware exists as independent executable programs. These malicious software have the ability to monitor keystrokes, change the default home page on the Web browser, read cookies, scan files on the hard drive, install other spyware programs and even spy other applications, such as chat programs or word processors. The spywares continuously relay this information back to the person who is spying. He will either use it for advertising/marketing purposes or sell the information to another party.

Steps of protecting your computer against spywares
Protecting against spywares is very essential to safeguard personal identity and other vital information. There are four essential steps that are essential to safeguard your computer against this malicious software.
* Updating the operating system regularly
* Installing an anti virus software and updating it regularly
* Utilizing the firewall software
* Utilizing the anti spyware software
Regularly updating of the operating system
It is always essential to install all security related programs as soon as possible. One of the best ways to do it is by utilizing the automatic update option in the computer. But the problem with this is if the computer components are not genuine but pirated ones, then the automatic updating of the operating system may work. So one has to buy genuine parts and software and keep updating regularly

Installing anti virus software
Anti virus software prevents viruses from getting attached to the programs in the computer and prevent them from corrupting the files. Many reliable anti virus software are available some of which are downloadable for free from the net. But one should regularly update the antivirus software to prevent danger from newer virus threats.

The Firewall utility
Hackers use viruses and Trojan Horses to find unprotected computers and access them to delete information, steal personal information or corrupt the files. Firewall security prevents these hackers from doing these. Three types of firewall security are available
* Hardware routers: for home networks connected to internet
* Wireless routers: for wireless network
* Software firewalls: for single computers

The Anti spyware software
The antispyware software protects the computer from those spying the web browsing habits of the victim, will prevent unwanted pop up windows and prevent uninitiated changes in the computer settings.

Few greater security threats exist on the Internet than rogue security tools.  iSafe Antivirus is just one of many programs that were created with the thought that it wasn’t enough to just infect computers with advertising software.  They take it a step further, going from being merely annoying to being unapologetically criminal.

One could almost say with the presence of rogue security tools that adware and spyware are passé.  Rogue software like iSafe Antivirus certainly does represent a new generation of infections.  Unfortunately, it’s virtually impossible for the creators to be arrested and jailed at this time.

The concept that iSafe Antivirus and its ilk operate from is pretty simple.  Secretly infect a computer, make the user think that they’re the only ones who can get rid of it, charge them an arm and a leg for it, and don’t deliver as promised.  That’s the scam in summary.

“How does iSafe Antivirus infect a computer?” you might ask.  They lie in wait at infected websites.  The websites more often than not involve watching videos, especially ones that might involve copyright violations by their presence.  Adult content Web sites have been noted as being infected as well.  Web sites can be easily cloned, so there’s no sure answer on how to avoid them.

An infection from iSafe Antivirus begins the moment you click on an infected icon.  It shows you that you’re downloading a video codec, which is actually the Zlob Trojan Downloader.  This program bypasses your computer’s security and installs iSafe Antivirus.

From there, iSafe Antivirus takes over.  You get a pop-up that asks you if you want a scan, and regardless of your answer, it starts.  It then tells you that your computer has a virus infection.  Not just any virus infection, but the very mother of infections.  Your computer would have already crashed if it was true.

Then, iSafe Antivirus tells you that you have to get their full version to clean up your computer.  This is where the truly criminal part begins.  First of all, it’s a scam, if you’re lucky.  The software doesn’t work; it’s only a shell program.  But that’s not as bad as it gets.

There is full potential if you buy iSafe Antivirus that they will steal your identity.  Corrupt people have access to your credit account, and there’s really no telling what they’ll do with it.  Is that a risk that you’re willing to take?

Even if you avoid this problem, you still have to get rid of iSafe Antivirus.  That is, unless you like being interrupted every ten minutes by a so called virus scan.  It’s also set up to run every time you boot your computer, so a restart doesn’t lay it to rest, either.

To clarify a possible mistake when trying to get rid of iSafe Antivirus, you should know that it’s not a virus.  Rogue security tools are a bundle of spyware, so you should use an antispyware program, not an antivirus to get rid of them.  Make sure that you have the best available.

Introduction

Who would think I was capable of such revengeful thoughts about the parties responsible for inflicting my poor computer with spyware? Well, after the trauma of having gone through such an experience for the first time, I was sorely tempted by the occult section of curses and witchcraft at my local bookstore. Growl!

Basically, I am a normal person using a home computer to perform simple normal tasks such as word processing, writing emails, internet banking, and surfing the Internet for useful information. Ok, I also have a weakness for looking for bargains on good old eBay (sheepish grin) and Paypal is quite a handy option for easy purchasing.

Problem:

Great dismay and panic hit when my pc started popping up strange windows or messages. With my limited IT knowledge, I ran a Norton virus scan which obviously revealed a number of problems. But the Symantec removal tool did not remove the spyware and I could not even log onto a couple of password protected sites. My beloved pc was infected with some malware or adware or trojan, among which, I believe was WinFixer and a Trojan Vundo. I did not know how to get rid of Vundo or how to remove WinFixer. (Or perhaps they were the one and same thing?). But at that point, I did not know any better, so began the laborious task of searching for information on how to get rid of the spyware.

Research:

From my search, I found out that the Trojan Vundo is a trojan horse that causes popups advertising rogue antispyware programs. For example, the program called Sysprotect is advertised in many of the popup windows as seen from the screenshot below. Vundo infects a computer by creating a DLL file in the Windows system directory and writes registry entries causing Windows to inject the file into winlogon.exe.

WinFixer, on the other hand, has siblings as it is identical to WinAntiVirus and ErrorSafe. And these programs all claim to repair problems within your computer system. By installing the program on your computer, you will likely end up receiving false information about your computer. Naturally, this will confuse you into believing your PC is infected with viruses, spyware and/or other forms of malware.

The popups and forced downloads apparently mirror “marketing” strategies of many spyware programs. And at times, infected computers will reduce in their level of speed and performance. Well, this all explained what was probably happening to my pc, and I knew I had to figure out how to get rid of WinFixer and Vundo before they drove me mad.

Research and solution:

In my initial panic, I reacted by downloading some recommended antispyware programs, namely CounterSpy by Sunbelt Software, XoftSpy by ParetoLogic and Spy Sweeper by Webroot Software Inc. I came to my senses by the third program and stopped myself from paying for another popular program, Spyware Doctor. But hey, all these programs did receive pretty good reviews from the experts at PCWorld, PCMag, CNet, Tucows and AdwareReport. So at the time, I did not feel that I had gone too much overboard

Now, there are many sites listing all sorts of free and paid antispyware programs with a variety of reviews and user opinions on how to remove WinFixer and how to get rid of Vundo. Many of the commercial antispyware program homepages also list very detailed features of their products plus the latest research findings about current spyware threats. Have a look at this webpage that lists some of these reliable programs. www.consumerstyle.com/antispyware

Anyway, an opinion and recommendation I had read when researching for the reliable antispyware programs made heaps sense in that software you pay for is more likely to offer benefits over freeware, i.e., better support, more frequent updates and better pro-active protection measures. One just has to be careful when selecting the programs. According to the comments in the forums and review articles I read, many recommend using at least two programs to be able to catch the latest spyware that either program might miss (that was when I stopped myself from my downloading frenzy). I have learnt much more about my pc now and wish to share and perhaps amuse you my muddled but finally effective measures to cleaning up my pc and removing the spyware.

My actions:

My initial Norton antivirus scan found but was not able to delete Vundo, even after rebooting. The Symantec removal tool did not help at all. I had disconnected from the Internet, disabled system restore, and ran the removal tool, regularly and in safe mode. After numerous startups, varying with safe mode, and disabling antivirus, I even tried to figure out how to remove Vundo manually without messing with the registry, etc. Please note that some people had success with the Symantec removal tools, and some others, like me, did not. Apart from the Trojan Vundo, I was getting quite frustrated at not being able to remove WinFixer for the many windows continually popping up started to slow my computer down, and even freeze it at times.

So I first tried Xoftspy, which was the fastest when scanning my computer. I was pleased to have fewer pop ups, was able to remove WinFixer, and ended with a much faster internet connection.

Then with my next program, Spy Sweeper, I ran it twice and then did a full system scan. Lo and behold, Vundo was gone, no more popups and adware annoyances. I guess this might not work for everyone but it is worth a shot to download Spy Sweeper.

Being still paranoid about the health of my pc, I finally ran the the free two-week trial version of CounterSpy, for extra assurance. Now I was quite impressed as it also included a scheduler, secure file shredder, and a history cleaner that made it simple to set up weekly scans. And there are frequent definition file updates for CounterSpy’s publisher. The company seems to run a well-staffed spyware research department. After a scan, CounterSpy can delete, quarantine, or remove spyware. I was advised not to install Microsoft AntiSpyware alongside older versions of CounterSpy (version 1.5 and below). And it is recommended to get CounterSpy to check for online updates of definitions and program files manually.

Conclusion:

To sum it all, XoftSpy was able to delete WinFixer as the program was able to uninstall WinFixer within fifteen minutes requiring a couple of restarts. As for Spy Sweeper, it managed to remove Vundo with ease. And I have no doubt that CounterSpy has done a great job of keeping my pc free of spyware. I cannot say that I have taken the best approach to solving my problems, but my pc is now running faster than ever and I have been free of WinFixer and Vundo ever since. I just have to remember to be more careful and scan my pc regularly.

One thing is for sure, there are many reliable and popular antispyware programs out there, and many helpful forum chat folk who can lend a hand with plenty of technical advice. You just have to sort out what advice and which steps to take by increasing your own awareness and understanding of your pc and the nasty world of spyware lurking around these days.

Chances are that if you have been browsing the internet lately, or even at all, you have probably had a run in with a computer virus or some other type of malicious program that is harmful to your PC. If you haven’t, well you are one of the lucky ones.

Spyware and viruses can infiltrate your computer a few ways. You could have visited a website where malicious programs were lurking and downloaded a file that contained spyware or a virus. These are generally referred to as Trojans because the malicious program hides in a seemingly harmless file that you download. Once you open the file or install the application, the spyware or virus secretly plants itself in your computer and starts doing damage. Emails and email attachments are another way you can pick up a malicious program such as a virus on your computer. Always know who is sending you the email, and if you are still not sure if the attachment or email is legitimate, give the person that sent you the email a call, if you know him or her, to verify that the email is harmless.

Panda Security offers an online virus scan for your computer. What you do is go to their website, or you can do a search for panda virus online scan and click on the first result, or one of the url’s that has Panda security in it. You will need to download a plug in for your web browser in order to complete the search.

By definition, a virus is a computer program that is able to copy itself and infect other computers. The first one, according to Wikipedia, was seen almost half a century ago. The Creeper virus was detected in ARPANET, a predecessor of the World Wide Web. This code is compared to their virus dictionaries and if a match is found, the antivirus program attempts to clean the suspicious part, without damaging the original data. Another method of fighting viruses is to monitor computer activity, also known as heuristic analysis. It was using the modem connection to replicate on other PCs and when it achieved its goal, it displayed the following message IM THE CREEPER: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. Anti virus software is another kind of computer programs that appeared because of the need to disinfect computers from viruses. Reaper was the first of its kind and its aim was the Creeper virus. You can visit Some people said that they might have shared the same creator, but this was never proved.

Since the first antivirus program, viruses and methods to fight them evolved rapidly. Most of the times, the next step in evolution is done by computer viruses and antivirus creators struggle to fight back and invent new ways to clean those pesky bugs. The common approach of antivirus software is to scan files, memory or registries from your computer and detect malicious code. This code is compared to their virus dictionaries and if a match is found, the antivirus program attempts to clean the suspicious part, without damaging the original data. Another method of fighting viruses is to monitor computer activity, also known as heuristic analysis. This includes monitoring memory and ports traffic for any signs of infection. A modern approach is the so called sandbox method. It involves running the suspicious file into a simulated operating system and analyzing the results. No matter the method, if a virus is found, the antivirus first attempts to disinfect the file. If its unsuccessful, or go to the infected file is quarantined (isolated from other programs) or in worst case, deleted.

Its very important to have a reliable antivirus program installed because there can be viruses on a file you download, inside an email attachment or even a website can include some malicious code to infect your PC. Some of the programs that are out there and can do the task are free, but most of them require payment.

Almost all include updates of their viruses database, to make sure your PC is protected to the newest threats.

It is important to protect your system with spyware removal software. Not many computer users know that that Spyware has a direct impact on their computer registry. In fact, not many of them know that there is a registry at all. A few may have heard of Spyware but not know what it exactly is or what it does.

The vague idea most people have about Spyware is that it captures your personal information and mails it to someone on the Internet. To understand the dangers that Spyware poses to the system it is important to understand how Spyware works and why it is important to remove it with specially designed free Spyware removal tools when Spyware is detected. Just removing the Spyware with Anti-virus is not enough.

What Is Spyware?

Spyware can be described as any software or program that installs itself on your system unannounced and begins to gather information about the use of the computer. This information is then mailed automatically to the person or persons who placed it on the Internet in the first place. So, what do these people do with your personal information?

Depending on the information they may sell it to marketing agencies, advertisers or any party that is interested in the information. The information may contain the type of system you use, the kind of sites you frequently visit or worse your usernames and passwords as well as your credit card information.

How Does Spyware Get Onto The System?

Spyware downloads itself to the computer when a user clicks on a download, accesses mail or browses sites with the hidden Spyware ready to download once the site is accessed. Spyware operates in the back ground while the computer is on. Once the computer is connected to the Internet the Spyware transmits the information to an email address.

All this slows down the system because the programs have to be slowed in order for the Spyware to get its job done. The registry also gets crammed with Spyware links and entries as well. The Spyware can be removed with anti virus software but the traces are stored in the registry and have to be completely removed with a Spyware remover such as Yahoo Spyware remover software or Kazaa Spyware remover utility.

This free Spyware remover software can be downloaded and run on the system free of cost. Removing redundant information from the registry will leave a smaller database for the registry to scan whenever a program requests for information. This speeds up the system a great deal. The end result of running anti Spyware will be an efficient computer that is a joy to work on.
