Default Bogus Anti-Spyware Products.

Dear LOTR

I am always surprised that inexperienced users grab the first product they find, do very little research, and believe everything their unknown product pronounces.

They seem not to realise that the rules that govern their high street shops are very difficult to enforce on the internet, so extra care must be taken when buying, downloading or using anything.

This naivety has lead to novice user "Blah blah blah" using bogus anti-spyware software when a little research would have shown that SpyBot, Ad-Aware SE and MS AntiSpyware are the only trustworthy products out there. The others are either poor clones, loaded with spyware themselves and/or money making gimmicks.

The simple moral is: Always do your research before downloading or buying anything off the internet.




UK Bob
