By: Gen Wright Home | Computers-and-Technology


While it is true that spyware is unobtrusive and will usually go unnoticed, it still poses a large amount of security risk, not just for your PC but your personal life as well, as it allows other individuals to gather sensitive info from your system and send it back to the Spyware maker. Of course, a lot of people are left vulnerable to spyware because they don't want to shell out or have no money for the expensive security suites out in the market. Fortunately for these people, one of the most powerful Anti-Spyware software is also available for free: SpyWall Anti-Spyware.

SpyWall Anti-Spyware is fully capable of removing of even the most difficult and advanced kind of spyware. SpyWall is very easy to use and does the entire job straight from the web browser. It can take advantage of Windows Internet Explorer to prevent spyware, rootkits and keyloggers from ever entering the computer.

3.Tracks web activity. This helps you keep track of any unexpected or unwanted communication between your PC and spyware makers.
4.Does not allow changes in web settings, registry and file system.
5.Protects the system from phishing threats. While not really a spyware threat, phishing sites are also very dangerous, as it allows identity thieves to steal private info without the need to install spyware in your system.
6.Stops downloads of files from the Internet if the files are malicious or are archives that contain malicious files.
7.Only makes use of low CPU usage and system resources.

The SpyWall Anti-Spyware is also able to block spyware, keyloggers and rootkits based on their behavior and not signatures. When a website being accessed by the user imposes possible threat, SpyWall Anti-Spyware immediately blocks that website. For the user to be able to access a certain website that is blocked the website must be added to the "Trusted Websites" tab. The user also has the option to block adware sites. This adware sites are known to display advertisements.

Automatic updates are also available for SpyWall Anti-Spyware to make sure that the application has the best defenses against new threats.
