Stay Super Safe With SUPER Anti Spyware
Have you ever wondered how anti-spyware such as SUPER Anti Spyware (also called SUPERAntiSpyware all in one word) works? If you've had your computer for even one second, you've probably been inundated with pleas to be sure you have anti spyware software. This is not the same as a firewall or anti-virus software. Anti spyware tackles different security problems than firewalls or anti-virus software. However, with SUPER Anti Spyware, you get a comprehensive computer security package. Just what good does it do that you have to get it?
Searching For Bad Guys
Spyware and other kinds of malware leave electronic footprints, so to speak, that programs like SUPER Anti Spyware can pick up like a bloodhound on the scent. It sniffs your hard drive and any websites that you may be visiting. SUPER Anti Spyware compares what it sniffs to a database of known spyware programs. This is why it's important to update your anti-spyware so it knows the latest spy to sniff out. Don't rely on the security program your computer came with; it will be out of date.
A good anti spyware program like SUPER Anti Spyware will then alert you that it found a bad guy, tell you what it is and give you the option of destroying it or keeping it. There are very, very few reasons why you would want to keep a spyware program functioning on your computer, but they do exist so that is why you are given the choice. For the average home user, you would just eliminate all spyware found.
Then, SUPER Anti Spyware blocks that same spyware from trying to creep back onto your computer.
Why Don't They Ban Spyware?
Spyware in and of itself is not detrimental. It was developed to be a tool, and like any tool, it can be put to both good and bad uses. It was originally used to monitor children or for your boss to see if you were actually working or goofing off on the clock. It was online criminals who managed to exploit spyware for fraud.
You do need to protect your computer against spyware. A 2006 Consumer Reports survey found that Americans lost $7.8 billion to spyware and virus infections over 2004 and 2005 alone. So, each person lost an average of $850. And Consumer Reports found that 35% of the computer owning people they surveyed didn't have anti spyware. Why risk your computer and your bank account when SUPER Anti Spyware is available for free?
