What Is Spyware?
Spyware is ANY SOFTWARE which employs your Internet connection in the
background (the so-called "backchannel") without your knowledge or explicit
permission. You're paying for your ISP connection. It is THEFT from YOU!! You've
been ROBBED!
Silent background use of an Internet "backchannel" connection MUST BE PRECEDED
by a complete and truthful disclosure of proposed backchannel usage, followed by
the receipt of explicit, informed, consent for such use. ANY SOFTWARE
communicating across the Internet absent these elements is guilty of information
theft and is properly and rightfully termed: Spyware. Most users find that
spyware slows down their systems as the backchannel is used to send your
browsing habits to the spyware's server. I notice net-speed performance
improvement every time I use SpyBot S&D.

SpyBot Search & Destroy FREEWARE
What does SpyBot-Search & Destroy?
SpyBot-S&D searches your hard disk for so-called spy - or adbots; little
modules that are responsible for the ads many programs show. But many of these
modules also transmit information about your surfing behaviour and more to the
net.
If SpyBot-S&D finds such modules, it can remove them - or replace them with
empty dummies in case their host won't work any more with its bot removed. In
most cases, the host software still runs after removing the bot.
For a list of 'supported' bots see the feature lists below. SpyBot-S&D works
with an easy interface that allows updates by just replacing a file of about 1k
size.
Another feature of SpyBot S&D is the removal of usage tracks, which makes it
more complicated for unknown spybots to transmit useful data. The list of last
visited websites, opened files, started programs, cookies, all that and more can
be cleaned. Supported are the three major browsers Internet Explorer, Netscape
Communicator and Opera.
Last but not least SpyBot-S&D contains some routines to find and correct invalid
entries into the registry.
Warning
Depending on the license agreement of some software that uses spy/adbots, the
usage of the software itself is no longer allowed after removal. Please read
those license agreements fist!
And remember: the best way to remove ads is to pay the shareware fee!
