Re: But... Obvously i am annoyed by adware/spyware, but i have none. Since the war began (spyware/adware/virus wars) i do not download or install anything without knowing what it is, and reading their disclaimer. after installed, i check my pc very throughly to make sure there is no adware/spyware installed. i think it's in part our fault, cause we click happy all over and we see free software, the first thing we do is click and install. people, it's our job to stop this thing, not the law. what can they do? someone once said that people do not read disclaimers, well, that's what is there for: READ IT before you say "I Agree", cause once you click on "I Agree" you are giving them the right to install these adware and spyware, if you read, you'll see that it clearly states it may contain third party software that will promote random advertising. Don't let them get to your pc. Scan for Spyware/Adware, don't download all those freebies you see, don't let the sales men come in, Obviously Invited and then take over your home (pc). Simply use safe browsing practices and you'll be fine. We all like freeware, but what's the catch? It's 60% our fault this has gone so far, if there's anyone to blame, just look at what you've done in the past. Have you installed software without reading the disclaimer lately?
Just a heads up |
