your PC and may break it so badly you can't even get on the Internet. The answer
is CounterSpy . It has Active Protection™, (you could call that a "spy-wall").

CounterSpy
detects, deletes and protects!
What is Active Protection? Dozens of "checkpoints" that are monitored in
real-time for attempts to install spyware. A very high percentage will be
blocked by CounterSpy. Apart from the PC World BEST BUY Award, the World's
largest PC Manufacturer has also decided for CounterSpy. Read this: "Dell has
tested and recommends CounterSpy by Sunbelt Software.
CounterSpy can
identify third-party software that has been downloaded on your system and allows
you to choose which applications you want to keep." You can get an Internet
Security bundle with CounterSpy in it from Dell.
Spyware Is An
Increasing Threat
First the big Internet annoyance was spam. Now it is spyware! Why is this
happening? There is big money in spyware, legitimate and for cybercriminals.
Both wage a battle for your personal information, surfing and buying habits.
There are Internet advertisers that want to know where you click, and the "Net
Mafia" is trying to steal your identity and credit card info.
Your personal
computer has likely been infected with several spyware products and cannot get
rid of these by itself. It needs help to find them, quarantine or delete them
and then protect your PC from getting infected again. The answer is CounterSpy.
How Come
Microsoft Updates Sunbelt's CounterSpy With Spyware Definitions?
Sunbelt is not "licensing the code from Microsoft". Microsoft acquired our anti-spyware
business partner Giant Software. There is a whole story here, but in short, this
is what Microsoft states on its website: "Anti-spyware solutions require
definition updates-signatures of known spyware and other unwanted software-that
are necessary to keep the solutions up-to-date. Because of a legal agreement
between Sunbelt Software and Giant that preceded the Microsoft acquisition,
Microsoft will provide spyware signature updates to Sunbelt through July 2007."
There is a separate link to a Sunbelt Company Newsletter called Stu's News where
you can find all the background information.
How We Can
Fight Spyware Together: ThreatNet
New spyware is constantly created by unethical companies for financial gain.
Cybercriminals change their malicious code regularly trying to escape discovery.
That's why Sunbelt created ThreatNet, a worldwide network of users who report on
new spyware outbreaks to Sunbelt. When an unknown but potential threat is
observed by CounterSpy's Active Protection, the user is provided the option of
anonymously sending information on the threat to Sunbelt's Spyware Research
Center. The research center can then identify new threats as they occur, making
updates available to protect users from new spyware.
Active
Protection™: Your Computer's Security Agents
You could see CounterSpy's agents as your computer's personal bodyguards.
CounterSpy's active agents look for certain software and system changes to your
computer. If something looks suspicious, you'll get alerted to it-before it can
wreak havoc on your system. In short, Active Protection intercepts many
potential hazards in real-time, helping to reduce the chances of getting a
recurring spyware infection.
AutoUpdater:
Keep Your Computer in the Know
Dozens of spyware programs are being created by bad guys every single day.
That's why AutoUpdater keeps CounterSpy up-to-date with the latest spyware
updates from Sunbelt. Just set a time for CounterSpy to automatically update
itself, and you'll always have the latest version of CounterSpy. Don't waste
your time deciding when to update your CounterSpy, let AutoUpdater do it for
you.
