Spyware is Not Like a Nosy Neighbor

Remember the television show about the nosy neighbor Mrs. Kravitz always peeking out her window or over the fence, sometimes even knocking on the door just to find out what was going on in her neighborhood? If you don't wait a month or so and the DVD or the movie will be out. Let's move on.

Spyware is not anything like Mrs. Kravitz, it won't knock on the door and ask permission to be downloaded to your computer and look at your personal files. It will slip onto your computer without you knowing what's going on while you browse the Internet, check your email or just leave your computer connected to the broadband connection. Don't go yanking that Internet connection yet, there is an easier way to prevent this from happening.

Understand that spyware is just that - software spying on your computer without permission and without your knowledge. Unfortunately for everyone a lot of people are using it and try to jsutify that it's okay. I just want to know that if it's okay, them why don't you just ask me to tell you - no I don't want my information, shopping habits, sites I've searched for information or anything else on my computer being sent to you to use anyway you see fit. I have a problem with that and so does the rest of the world, which is one of the reasons why spyware exists.

The other reason this creepy piece of hackerware exists is because of obsessed people who like to figure out ways to break into people's computer and broadcast their info to millions. Now because this hackerware keeps constantly changing not just any piece-meal solution can protect your computers. Every computer needs to be protected from this menace and to get the best protect we recommend STOPzilla - look at what it does: active Popup killer, active Spyware killer, active Adware killer, active Cookie killer, active History killer, and active Hi-Jack killer. And for all those who it hasn't happened to yet, a Hi-Jack is when the browser's settings are altered by a trojan without the user's knowledge or consent.

Browser hi-jack software also changes your home page, search page, adds websites with objectionable content, and record web history to transmit personal information back to what I refer to as a black hole. STOPzilla kills all the above and works 24/7 including updating itself to keep up with the ever changing hackerware.

Since you don't want any of these things to happen with your computer save yourself the time and energy and get STOPzilla, right now.
