Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 1.60

Ashampoo AntiSpyWare

Description by the Software Developer:
"Ashampoo AntiSpyWare protects you comprehensively against the full spectrum of new malware (malicious software) threats that you are exposed to on the Internet. It does this with advanced new technology and backs it up with an additional suite of security tools.
Windows® is the world’s most popular operating system. Not just with users but also with the bad guys – hackers, spammers, spies, virus programmers, phishers, identity thieves, scummy advertisers and untold thousands of others. If you’re connected to the Internet these lowlifes can and will try to access your computer to steal your data and your money, install offensive advertising or just cause damage for the malicious heck of it. Some of the things these “black hats” do are just annoying, like advertising popups that just won’t go away. Others are more serious, like stealing your credit card number or turning your computer into “zombie machine” and using it to send spam or attack other computers without your knowledge. Modern computers are so powerful that this can be going on in the background while you’re working or playing and you won’t even notice it."

Spybot Search and Destroy Detection Update 10.27.2006

Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies.Spybot Search and Destroy is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer.
