Spyware can trap you in a number of ways -
1 you purchase some software, or you are given free software;
2 you click on a link in an email;
3 when surfing you can get a popup window telling you you have spyware.
In the first case you are offered excellent-sounding software free of charge, or at an attractive price. When you install the program it also installs spyware on your machine. Your firewall may prompt you, but you select the “Allow” button.
Secondly, amongst all the unwanted emails we receive, we find one of interest, and out of curiosity we click on one of its links. We have just linked to spyware.
The third instance is a cruel blow.
This is when we buy “antispyware” which actually itself contains spyware. When we run it we have given it free rein, and we are at its mercy.
SpyZooka is genuine. It’s been around since 2004 and has built up a great name for itself. Have a look at http://bluepenguinsoftware.com/, it contains educational information. SpyZooka is priced very competitively.
