SPYWARE & MALWARE Internet Security

No longer something that you only see in secret agent movies, Spyware can attack anyone who visits corrupt websites, clicks on deceptive popups or views a spam email message–simply put, if you're online, you're at risk


Make a Great Anti - Spyware


Below we highlighted the attributes that we at Anti-Spy ware Software Review consider to be the most important when purchasing spy ware and adware detection and removal software.

Feature Set – Does the anti-spy ware include tools to enhance the ease of spy ware detection and removal? Does the software offer descriptions of detected spy ware so you can determine whether or not you want to keep each item? Are there auto-update and auto-scheduling capabilities available to save you time and keep you up-to-date and protected? Are there "undo" capabilities in case you accidentally delete something you actually need?

Effectiveness– Does the product provide real-time protection from spy ware preventing its installation instead of just removing it afterward? Is the product effective at finding and removing the many different types of spy ware and adware? Does the manufacturer keep their product up-to-date with new spy ware definitions?

Ease of Use – How easy is the product to use? Can you quickly find the features you are looking for? Are the descriptions easily understood or do they assume you know all the appropriate jargon? How quickly does the software perform the scan?

Customization – Can you target select portions of your computer to save on scanning time? Are there other options available to accommodate different needs, such as opting out of removal of certain items, or scanning to remove spy ware that alters your Internet settings?

Ease of Setup / Installation – Is it easy to download and install the product? Can you get it up and running without consulting a book or a tech support person?

Help / Support – Is there a Help section installed with the product? Is it easy to find answers to your questions? Is there someone you can call for support? How quickly does the support staff respond to your email questions?
