The potential risks of using  free Anti Spyware Anti Adware And Anti Virus

It's common knowledge that nothing really comes free, yet we are always lured by free things and it is very hard to shake off this temptation. Similarly in the case of unwanted adware and spyware programs that many of us inadvertently download and infect our systems with.

Adware and spyware programs are  installed into our computers as they are intricately woven into some freeware and shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet.

Most of the Internet users secure their system against viruses and worms and are cautious in installing suspicious programs that may contain viruses. This is the reason why adware programs are intricately bundled with legitimate freeware and shareware programs to trap and make the victim download them. Sometimes, spyware and adware even disguise themselves as some security or computer optimization software to trick one to install malicious programs. 

In extreme cases, the user doesn't even have to install some freeware to allow adware and spyware infest the computer system. Simply browsing and visiting sites that have been attacked by malicious hackers can launch an attack in your computer. The vulnerabilities in the Internet browser's security are easily exploited by the crime groups to launch an adware or spyware attack. This way, without you downloading anything, spyware and adware finds way into your computer. This is particularly true for earlier versions of Internet Explorer because it is tightly coupled with the Windows operating system.

The consequences of spyware and adware infecting your computer can vary from mild to severe depending on the intention with which they had been set in motion. In mild cases, they annoy the user by displaying unsolicited pop ups on your screen irrespective of you online or not. In moderate instances they rob you of your identity and privacy by tracking you internet movements. Spywares are more capable than this and in severe cases they steal passwords, record bank details and any confidential information on your computer ultimately making you a victim of identity theft.

While you indeed have to cautious about some freeware, there are free spyware and adware protection programs that can rescue you and protect you from these attackers. Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot S&D, IE-SPYAD, Spyware Blaster, HiJack This, XP-AntiSpy, and X-Cleaner are some of the more popular free spyware and adware protection programs.

Installing a good anti spyware and adware program and regularly updating it, saves your precious time and money which you otherwise have to spend to resolve the problems cause by adware and spywares you had let into your system.

Make sure of the legitimacy of any anti spyware or adware before you choose. This is because, as said before there are rogue spyware or malware masqueraded as security software. 

Hence do a brief research before trying out one. It is always advisable to use recommended software, be it an anti spyware or any other software program.

Spyware and adware protection program is a vital tool that every Internet user should be armed with before they hang out in Internet. There are essentially two types of chores that an anti spyware or adware program can actually do.

  • Detection and elimination of existing spyware and adware that are already installed in the     system
  • Proactive protection against new spyware and adware infecting the system

 

Some anti-spyware software programs are solely designed for detection and removal of spyware software that has already been installed onto your computer. Meaning they can only remove already existing ones but cannot stop new ones entering the system. However, there are also software programs which have been designed to do both the above mentioned tasks (elimination of already existing ad/spywares and protection against new ad/spywares). It is always wise to choose the latter type for better risk management and protection
