Review of spyware definition::What Does Malware Mean?







Review of spyware definition::What Does Malware Mean?








I               can               only               start               this               article               by               asking               the               rhetorical               question               -               What               Einstein               came               up               with               this               lame               brained               idea?

I               don't               fault               the               consumer               who,               on               average               doesn't               recognize               the               total               waste               of               money               these               products               are,               but               with               this               article               hope               to               enlighten               you               on               why               this               is               indeed               the               case.

First,               for               the               newbie               (computer               speak               for               new               computer               user)               who               has               just               sat               down               to               their               new               computer               and               never               had               the               distaste               of               experiencing               a               popup,               let's               define               what               a               popup               is.

When               surfing               (aka               browsing               or               looking               at               Internet               web               sites)               one's               travels               are               likely               to               bring               you               to               a               web               page               that               uses               a               popup               window.

This               is               where               you               have               one               window               that               you               were               looking               at,               and               now               another               browser               window               appears               with               another               web               page.

This               page               may               be               a               direct               result               of               you're               clicking               on               a               picture,               button,               or               link               and               may               be               providing               valuable               and               wanted               information.
               A               few               examples               include               clicking:
               *               a               word               on               a               page               and               getting               the               definition               of               it               in               a               popup               window.


               *               a               link               and               getting               a               video               clip               in               a               new               window               with               news               or               a               movie               preview.


               *               a               picture               and               getting               a               bigger,               clearer               view               of               it.
               Unfortunately               advertising               companies,               hackers,               virus               writers,               and               other               advantage               takers               have               taken               a               benign               and               helpful               tool               and               made               it               into               a               weapon               of               mass(media)               destruction.
               Now               you               can               go               almost               anywhere               and               end               up               with               a               popup.

Most               search               engines               don't               qualify               web               descriptions               so               even               a               porn               site               can               describe               itself               as               a               cartoon               site               and               suddenly               you               (or               your               children)               are               being               bombarded               with               porn               popups               faster               than               you               can               close               them               out.

Search               engines               are               begining               to               prescreen               sites               for               malicious               code;               i.e               Google               will               now               label               such               sites               with               'This               site               may               harm               your               computer'               below               the               search               result.

Speaking               of               which               NEVER               click               the               X               in               the               corner               in               an               unwanted               popup               window.
               How               to               stop               popups?
               Hold               the               ALT               key               down               and               tap               the               F4               key               until               all               browser               windows               are               closed.

If               you               get               one               that               won't               close               because               the               X               is               grayed               out               and               you               have               to               choose               (usually)               a               Yes               or               NO...don't               pick               either.

Hold               your               CTL               and               ALT               keys               down               and               press               the               DEL(ete)               key               once.

Once               Task               Manager               (this               is               all               oriented               to               Windows               users)               is               up               right               click               one               at               a               time               on               all               IEXPLORE.exe               processes               on               the               process               tab               then               select               End               Process               Tree               in               the               menu               that               displays.
               The               reason               for               not               clicking               the               X               is               that               a               popup               can               be               created               without               any               window               controls.

This               means               no               red               X               or               square               to               minimize,               maximize,               restore,               or               close               a               window.

If               one               can               program               a               window               with               no               controls,               they               can               create               web               controls               that               the               X               equates               to               a               yes               install               that               virus,               spyware,               or               other               bad               software               on               my               PC.
               So               many               of               you               are               smugly               thinking,               I               don't               have               to               worry               one               bit.

I               bought               this               cheap               popup               blocker               for               only               $29               and               haven't               had               a               popup               since.

Well               you               may               think               that               is               the               end               of               your               problems,               but               actually               it               is               only               the               beginning.

Popup               blockers               only               block,               or               prevent               you               from               seeing               popups,               and               have               the               potential               to               block               wanted               popup               windows.
               So               instead               of               dealing               with               popups,               you               deal               with               training               the               blocker               to               allow               the               sites               you               do               want.

Blockers               are               like               taking               pain               pills               so               you               won't               feel               pain.

The               problem               is               your               pain               is               a               sign               of               a               larger               problem               that               the               blocker               only               masks.
               See,               most               popups               are               an               indication               that               you               have               spyware,               a               virus,               or               on               a               rare               occaision               a               hacker.

The               spyware               generates               the               popups               and               downloads               other               spyware               to               increase               the               advertsising               rate.

A               blocker               doesn't               prevent               the               activity,               but               only               prevents               you               from               being               bothered               with               it.
               So               isn't               that               what               you               wanted?

Not               to               be               bothered               with               the               popups?

Not               exactly.

Your               computer               has               limited               resources               in               hard               drive               space               and               memory.

Even               though               you               aren't               bothered               with               the               ads,               the               blocker,               the               spyware,               the               viruses,               are               all               using               your               memory               in               their               steel               cage               match,               winner               takes               all               event               until               your               PC               is               so               slow               you               have               to               get               it               cleaned               by               a               professional,               reloaded               by               a               lazy               computer               store,               or               give               up               and               buy               a               new               PC.
               The               only               real               way               to               prevent               popups               is               to               keep               your               computer               updated               and               clean               of               viruses               and               spyware.

Then               avoid               high               risk               areas               of               the               Internet               like               off-shore               casinos               and               porn               sites.

Medium               risk               sites               like               music               downloading               and               sharing               sites               and               certain               online               gamming               communities               are               also               risky.

Finally,               use               the               tip               provided               to               quickly               end               the               popups               as               they               start.
               So               you               and               your               computer               are               Peter               being               robbed               by               the               Pauls               (blocker               companies)               to               pay               themselves               in               this               analogy.

Paul               is               no               saint,               and               provides               you               only               a               temporary               reprieve               from               the               actual               problem.

Treat               the               cause               and               not               the               symptom,               or               let               an               experienced               thorough               technician               help               you.
