Übersicht
Als Spyware bezeichnet man üblicherweise Software, die persönliche
Daten des Benutzers ohne dessen Wissen oder Zustimmung an den Hersteller der
Software – das sogenannte Call Home – oder an Dritte sendet. Oft wird
Spyware
verwendet, um Produkte scheinbar kostenlos anzubieten.
Meist dienen die Spyware-Programme dazu, das Surf-Verhalten im Internet zu
analysieren, um diese Daten kommerziell zu nutzen oder um gezielt
Werbebanner oder Popups einzublenden, die an die Interessen des Benutzers
angepasst sind. Die Firmen erhoffen sich daraus eine Steigerung der
Wirksamkeit dieser Werbemethoden.
Um Ärger mit Juristen zu umgehen, kennzeichnen viele Computerprogramme mit
Anti-Spyware-Funktionen diese Softwarekomponenten als »möglicherweise
unerwünschte Software« (PUS, potentially unwanted software).
Spyware wird im Gegensatz zu den Viren auch von Unternehmen programmiert,
die ganze Entwicklungsabteilungen mit der Programmierung von Spyware
beauftragen. Diese Spyware hat damit auch ein sehr hohes technisches Niveau.
Beispielsweise schützt sich Spyware gegen Löschung dadurch, dass mehrere
Prozesse gleichzeitig laufen, die bei Beendigung gleich wieder einen neuen
aufmachen und sich selbst kopieren. Auf der Festplatte entziehen sie
beispielsweise dem Administrator die Schreib- und damit die
Löschberechtigung usw.
Ein weiteres Problem entsteht dadurch, dass Spyware zusätzliche
Sicherheitslöcher in einem System erzeugen kann, gegen die es dann auch
keine Software-Updates gibt.
Durch diese Verfahren wird es selbst einem technisch versierten User extrem
schwer gemacht, sich dieser Spyware zu entledigen. Da das Problem Spyware
lange von den gängigen Antivirensoftware-Herstellern ignoriert wurde, gibt
es de facto heute keine wirklich gut funktionierende Antispywarelösung.

From Radsoft.net "Download Accelerator and GetRight are both
popular download managers, but watch out for the built-in advertising
that's creeping over all these applications today: if you don't know
any more, and you suspect your download manager will be using
built-in advertising, do not use it, do not even install it. Find
something else that does less damage to your computer and your
privacy."

If you really NEED a download manager, try the FREE - now $12.50
(no ads - no spyware) Download Mage (no bloat - only 174k).
Or try Jon's Downloader - completely free.

What's the answer? Get a filewall! The best for free is the
Zonelabs filrewall, called ZoneAlarm! Free for personal
and non-profit use. It stops outgoing comms from
applications too! The only one to do so, according to Steve Gibson!

MultiProxy is a multifunctional personal proxy server that protects
your privacy while on the Internet as well as speeds up your
downloads, especially if you are trying to get several files form
overseas or from otherwise rather slow server. It can also completely
hide your IP address by dynamically connecting to non-transparent
anonymizing public proxy servers. You can also test a list of proxy
servers and sort them by connection speed and level of anonimity.

Proxomitron give you huge control of browser surfing. You can filter
both in and out. Have you ever wished you could turn off some of those fancy new
HTML features your web browser supports? Are you tired of pages
filled to the brim with blinking banners, pop-up windows, and other
such aggravations?
Using special HTML filters, the Proxomitron can transform web pages
on the fly - changing most anything you wish. Speed your browsing
by saying goodbye to slow loading cyber spam and other
web-gimmickry. Customize pages to suit your tastes. Take control of
your web viewing, and don't be slave to some web-master's whims.
Not everyone is aware that there's a hidden conversation going on
between your web browser and the sites you visit. Known as HTTP
header messages they can contain all sorts of information - some of
which you might rather keep to yourself. The Proxomitron not only
lets you view all messages, but also lets you alter, add, or delete
them. If security is important to you, make it your business to know
what your browser is telling the world and have it say only what you
want!
If you already use web proxies to speed your internet viewing, the
Proxomitron can help here too. It can maintain a list of different proxy
servers and allow you to easily switch between them. You can even
test proxy servers for accessability and see what, if any, HTTP
headers they may add.
