What is Spyware and Adware?

Adware and Spyware Software Software that transmits information back to a third party without notifying the user is considered spyware. Spyware is a major tool in identity theft, as it's used to transmit private information about the user back to the developer of the malware.

Software that displays advertisements such as popups, banners, re-directs the user to another Website, takes over the user's homepage, displays ads within the user's browser or in any way pushing unintended ads on the computer user is considered adware. Not all Ad ware is Spyware and most Spy ware is NOT easily detected by displaying ads.

Spyware Doctor, Spyware Blaster, Super Anti-Spyware, Spyware Terminator, Norton, McAfee. Adaware (ad-aware), AVG and other spyware removal tools were tested by Adware.info and we determined STOPzilla was the best overall anti spyware.
