Tracking Spyware Trickery Which apps use which techniques (old news - 09:26AM Tuesday Apr 12 2005) tags: spyware
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.
all ya gotta do is have the following: sp2, norton system works 2004 & microsofts anti spywre beta installed. we haven't had any sign's of spyware since we installed the beta. it's different not having anything to complain about.
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 was a child, I talk as a child, thought as a child, reasoned as a child; when I became a man, I put away childish things. (corinthians1,ch13,v11).
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.
