Tracking Spyware Trickery Which apps use which techniques Spyware researcher Ben Edelman is back again, this time with a new guide to which spyware applications are using which exploits and tricks to nest in your computer. A different new article can be found over at Spyware Guide, who recently dug into the odd behavior at Spazbox.net (visit at your own risk), a site which offers users "drive-by" installs of spyware and adware.

Los Angeles, CA | - Just a quick note, coupled with the same warning. I believe the intended site for those that are unaware is actually »www.spazbox.net | |

@qwest.net | all ya gotta do is have the following:

2 edits | YES! I always wanted to be able to print a guide:
"If you install this, this will happen"
Now when they come crying that their system is messed up at least I can say "Told you so" and "Can't you read!" 
EDIT:
Ben Edelman is now being raised from hero to deity in my book.
spazbox what a bunch of scumbags.
Here's their Meta tag:

when I became a man, I put away childish things. (corinthians1,ch13,v11). I hope they burn in hell | |

| | Beware the MS AS Beta If you read the EULA very carefullyon the MS Anti-Spyware Beta - you will note that certain companies are allowed through, and I didn't like the memory performance on it either.
If you want decent spyware cleaner - try Search&Destroy - very happy with product, and it's free. If you want to prevent spyware, then I suggest you block untrusted cookies, raise IE Internet zone security to high, and use the dropmyrights.exe script from Microsoft to run IE or FireFox or your browser/app of choice at User permission level.
Norton's does work well, but it costs money. | |
