McAfee Finds SpywareNuker is not Adware, Agrees to Cease Listing SpywareNuker
January 28, 2004 -- TrekEight,LLC, publishers of SpywareNuker, a leading commercial anti-spyware application, announced today that McAfee Software has acknowledged that testing confirms SpywareNuker is not adware, and McAfee has further agreed to drop the inadvertent listing of SpywareNuker as an "unwanted program." Through its attorneys, McAfee released the following statement:"McAfee, Inc. wishes to correct its previous classification of TrekEight, LLC's "SpywareNuker" program as adware. The results of an internal investigation by McAfee indicate that prior versions of McAfee's anti-virus and computer security software products inadvertently identified "SpywareNuker" as adware, and a "potentially unwanted application." In fact, tests confirm "Spyware Nuker" does not function as adware, or evidence any virus or Trojan horse behavior." James Leasure, CEO of TrekEight LLC was pleased with the admission, stating "McAfee is an acknowledged leader in PC security software, and people and businesses look up to them and what they say. For McAfee to make the affirmative statement that our SpywareNuker product does not function as adware is very powerful."Leasure continued, "As you may know, TrekEight has been dogged by the continuous misconception that SpywareNuker somehow functions as adware, or is a type of malware. The truth is, SpywareNuker is none of those things.
We are very pleased that McAfee was gracious enough to take the time to investigate its own mis-designation, and correct the error. McAfee's statement will help us spread the truth about our product, and finally dispel the damaging rumors about SpywareNuker." For those businesses who intentionally make false statements about TrekEight, or SpywareNuker, Leasure had this to say, "Lying about a competitor is not an acceptable business practice, and TrekEight does not intend to let those claims go uncontested." TrekEight is currently pursuing claims against other companies and individuals that defame TrekEight by falsely labeling the SpywareNuker software as a threat, and falsely accusing TrekEight of tricking customers into purchasing an anti-spyware product that is actually spyware.For further information contact McAfee's Legal Department at 5000 Headquarters Drive, Plano, Texas 75024..
Cybercrime, Identity Theft, Phishing and Credit Card Fraud Linked to Spyware
Nova Scotia, (ContentDesk) October 18, 2005 -- SpyCop today announced that commercial monitoring spyware is being developed with features that can rival the most advanced FBI wiretap tools.
An article by Will Sturgeon of Silicon.com sums it up rather well: "Spyware is becoming increasingly pernicious and sophisticated, according to security experts who are warning that users are still failing to take basic steps to protect themselves against the threat."
The mass media, along with Internet bloggers, fail to notice the mounting threat that these products now pose.
With the rise in cybercrime, including identity theft, phishing and credit card fraud, it's quite surprising that computer users are still at a loss as to how to protect themselves.There are over 530 different commercial spy software programs on the market today, and that number is steadily rising as more and more dangerous consumer based products appear each month.

Spyware removal software is just what it sounds like it is, a software program that will go through your computer and get rid of spyware and other programs you do not want to have on your machine.
The reason spyware removal software has become such a big deal is that spyware now seems to be everywhere. Spyware is actually software programs that are almost completely invisible on your machine.

Despite unprecedented access to a rapidly-expanding body of knowledge and software, consumers are finding that they are overwhelmed with the task of getting rid of Adware & Spyware from their household and business computers.

Scan The System For Spyware - Frequently
By frequently adding and removing software and hardware from the system may make the system more and more sluggish over time. The system may become slow to the point of being annoying. Yet when the system was new it ran perfectly. There are many answers to why this happens. The system may be infected with viruses that are filling up the resources by replicating themselves or there may be Spyware operating in the background.
These Spyware can wreck havoc with the system time by delaying the response of the processor to the programs that are running in front. One other possible reason could be that the registry has gotten full of obsolete entries and references that installing programs and hardware make in the registry. These entries are not removed when the programs or hardware are uninstalled. This has to be done manually or with any free Spyware removal tool made for the very purpose.
Use Software, Do Not Delve Into The Registry Manually
