So this week, I'll tell you about spyware killers, and software to keep you safe from other dangers, including keyloggers and auto-dialers. As a bonus, there's a great (free) firewall. IN THIS ISSUE: * SpyCatcher: Catch and Kill Spyware * ModemWall: Block Auto-Dialers * Anti-Keylogger: Protect Against Intrusions * Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner: Free Spyware Protection * File of the Week: Sygate Personal Firewall ============================================================ SpyCatcher: Catch and Kill Spyware SpyCatcher is better than passive spyware killers that lay back and wait for you to scan your system - it actively watches your system. When new spyware is installed, SpyCatcher kills it and will block reinstallation. It's shareware; registration fee is $29.95. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1039-13-22-58379-95549-1 ============================================================ ModemWall: Block Auto-Dialers Auto-dialers are one of the more insidious Internet threats. They invisibly install on your system, and without your knowledge, they dial out to for-pay services, racking up big charges on your phone bill. This program detects and deletes them. It's shareware; registration fee is $30. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1039-13-22-58379-95552-1 ============================================================ Anti-Keylogger: Protect Against Intrusions Keyloggers are among the most insidious threats you'll ever face. They sit on your PC, and record every keystroke you make, and send those keystrokes back to someone remotely watching what you do. This program finds keyloggers and kills them. It's shareware; registration fee is $59.95. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1039-13-22-58379-95555-1 ============================================================ Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner: Free Spyware Protection Bazooka scans your sytem for adware and spyware, and if you're infected, it then points you to instructions for how to uninstall it. Note: If you don't want to uninstall the spyware yourself in this manner, you should consider one of the for-pay spyware killers that automatically uninstall these programs for you. This program is freeware. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1039-13-22-58379-95558-1 ============================================================ File of the Week: Sygate Personal Firewall For the best all-around protection, you need a firewall. Firewalls block incoming ports from intruders, as well as block Trojans and other malware on your system from making outbound connections. Get this great free firewall today, it's far superior to the one built into XP, including the one in SP2. It's freeware. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1039-13-22-58379-95561-1 ============================================================ About the author: Well-known shareware guru Preston Gralla has been writing about shareware for well over a decade.
