Spyware

Since I installed FeedDemon I have now to fight against spyware.

I already found with Ad_Aware from Lavasoft 70 kind of spyware :-(.

But I still have something launching some stupid ads automatically.

So I tried too BOHCaptor to detect strange objects in IE, still the same.

Now it's the turn of Spybot. Grrrr !

I wor with Windows 2003 which is supposed to be the champion in blocking everything :-((.

It's amazing the number of bots which going straight away to the registry ! If somebody know a way to block the registry access or give some alert, I will be an happy man.

By the way check this page for more info on the different anti spyware.

Microsoft should also fight against the spyware in the same strength than with the spammers.

  • I'm not sure why you're associating FeedDemon with spyware. Please substantiate what you're claiming here, because I can assure you that FeedDemon is not putting spyware on your machine.

  • Paschal, are you running as an administrator? If so, that could explain some of your issues, since any code you run from an admin account leaves you wide open to all sorts of issues. Whether it's actually FeedDemon or not, installing any code that you're not sure should be trusted can lead to just this sort of problem.
