Antispyware Exposed

I hate antispyware software. I hate them more than you do, and I always have.If you give me a few seconds I will tell you why.But first, let's start with how I got here, and why I'm writing this...It must have been about three weeks ago now, I was browsing the web when I got this nasty spyware on my computer. All I was doing was simply surfing the internet, I didn’t even download anything.Now I’m no computer dummy. I’ve been surfing the net since 1993 when the first real browser, Mosaic, was unleashed.When the neighbor has a computer problem they ask me to fix it.Even though my friends all consider me a computer expert the one thing I really dread is spyware.


The problem with anti spyware software is companies sell software that at best only removes 90% of your spyware.The only way to remove spyware is to buy anti spyware software to get rid of 60-90% of your spyware and then buy another anti spyware software to remove the last of it.Hopefully together they will remove all the spyware, but unfortunately most of the time they don’t.So you’re stuck shelling out $60 for two pieces of software that still haven’t solved your problem.That’s why I hate anti spyware software. Most of them are a rip off.Even worse are the software programs that give false positives.


It’s when an anti spyware program scans your computer and says you have spyware when in fact you don’t.Many companies have been sued by the Federal Trade Commission and received multi million dollar fines for misleading consumers. Just back in January the FTC settled a $2 million fine against a company for misleading consumers into thinking they have spyware on their computer when they didn’t. That person was even banned from ever selling an anti spyware product for the rest of his life.So there are a lot of scams to be found both in spyware and the tools to remove it.


After wasting several hours looking for the solution to remove the spyware that was slowing down my computer and causing popups all over my computer screen I found a post in a forum about Spyzooka.I thought it would be just another scam but I checked it out anyway. I went to their website and started reading about it.If you’ve never heard of Tucows before they are an independent software rating company with millions of visitors to their website. They are to software what the Oscars are to movies. Or the
Grammy’s are to musicians.
