SpywareNuker New and Improved
SpywareNuker Introduction
SpywareNuker is anti-spyware
software which is meant to protect a computer from spyware, and
prevent a computer from downloading spyware from the
internet. Spyware is often installed on a computer without
the user’ knowledge or consent, further more there are even
instances in which the user agrees to the spyware as part of one of
those long six page user agreements that one is forced to agree to
before they are allowed to install certain software.
SpywareNuker was first
introduced in the early 2000’s and the name has been changed, sold,
and returned to the original name since its conception. There
are some who believe this and many other anti-spyware software
programs could be considered spyware them selves. The reason
for this is partly because in the user agreement the company
producing SpywareNuker has included such conditions as: the user
agrees to allow the company to send the user information and
advertisements from other companies of which they are
affiliated.
Also SpywareNuker’s parent company TekBlue, also
makes pop-up advertisements, spyware, and other undesirable
products on the internet according to some websites available on
the internet. Additionally these websites claim to have
researched TekBlue only to find that they changed their name after
first releasing SpywareNuker, renamed the software itself for a
time, and then finally switched the name back to SpywareNuker.
This website was written by a person who
downloaded the software to try it for himself or herself; this
person believed that the software was a good product until they
investigated the software further; upon further investigation of
the files which were downloaded from the website they discovered
additional files which they didn’t want installed on their
computer.
Some of these files were in the Microsoft
registry and .dll files; .dll files are important for the function
of Windows operating system. Other files which were found
after the software was uninstalled from the computer were intended
to connect the computer to advertising websites and allow file
sharing between certain computers and the users. The person
writing that particular website concluded that while SpywareNuker
is not spyware, some could define it as close to spyware.
When downloading anything from the internet
basing choices on other people’s personal accounts, professional
product reviews, and researching the product before downloading
anything could really protect a user’s computer and money.
SpywareNuker may be terrific anti-spyware software, or maybe it
spyware that one must pays money for it to be put on their
computer; SpywareNuker has dozens of
recommendations as well as criticisms on the internet, some may
feel the software is too risky to download.
