So I build an application that when it is running it simply monitors system folders for any new exe's or dll's being added or renamed: For example Windows and System32 folder is the main harbour for these bugs, but also Program Files or Documents and Settings. But I am just browsing web and application is secretly added and run while Windows is fine with it? Obviously if I am installing application, I expect it to add some files to Windows or Program Files. I don't care if it is legit application or not. It is sad that Windows while trying to be friendly is quiet about things that are being added.

There are many applications excellent in cleaning the mess - for example Lavasoft Ad-Aware or Spybot Search and Destroy and I use them regularly.īut I want to know the very moment something is being installed on my computer. I don't have the time to build a database of spyware or try to figure out what registry belongs to parasites. I think companies should really get together on a class-action lawsuit to held all known spyware accountable for the loss of time and revenue. I lost a day of my work trying to remove these things from my computer. One day I got really tired of my home page always resetting to coolwebsearch page, searching in google redirect to some X-google page etc. This includes collecting and selling your data, redirecting you to sites that use advertisement or phishing - redirecting you to sites that looks like front-door to your online bank. The primary task of these 'viruses' is to change your computer such way so the creator can benefit from it financially And they will do it by any means necessary. Yes, while a word Spyware or Parasite sounds less dangerous than a word Virus, Spyware is in fact able to do all above and much worse. A new type of virus that is not exactly a virus was needed: Spyware, Adware, Parasites, Hijackers, Dialers and whatever else.

Since they mutate relatively slowly a good anti-virus software can still catch them in most cases. New viruses installs backdors to get access to your computer, use your computer for Denial of Service attacks or try to get passwords to your banking accounts. Deleting files or hard drive become way too uncool. Then came internet and everything changed overnight. There wasn't real benefit for the virus creator to make the virus except kudos from his peers (unless he was also selling anti-virus software). They attached to your exe files and when you were taking coffee break they deleted your data, formatted disk or make your keyboard stutter. In good old days viruses used to be simple. 'We used to call them nasty viruses, but now they all have more sophisticated names'.
