Here’s a summary of ten common spyware threats:

  1. Gator: Initially installed as a password archive, Gator allows users to recall passwords automatically. However, it generates annoying pop-up ads, despite some attempts by its creator, Claria, to label them.
  2. CoolWebSearch: Known for being a notorious browser hijacker, this software redirects users to sites like coolwebsearch.com or datanotary.com. Uninstalling it can be challenging, and users are advised not to attempt it.
  3. 180SearchAssistant: This software generates ads based on search keywords and often comes bundled with free software installations. Newer versions have an uninstall feature.
  4. Huntbar: This spyware installs a toolbar in Internet Explorer and alters homepage and search settings to redirect users. It consumes about 15% of system memory resources.
  5. Cydoor: Typically bundled with peer-to-peer software, Cydoor generates pop-up ads and tracks user information, conflicting with other advertising systems.
  6. Bar: This spyware installs through “drive-by” downloads using ActiveX and JavaScript. It pushes information to sites like my-internet.info and blazefind.com.
  7. WhenU-DesktopBar: This software displays ads, monitors internet traffic, collects search profiles, and can remotely update its advertising content.
  8. New.Net: A company that offers unusual top-level domain names, New.Net can be problematic and needs to be removed.
  9. IEPlugin: This spyware adds a toolbar to Internet Explorer, tracks website usage, and collects personal information. Removal is necessary.
  10. BargainBuddy: Distributed by BullzEye Network, BargainBuddy monitors computer usage and pushes ads based on that data. It also configures Browser Helper Objects (BHOs).

Awareness of these spyware threats is crucial to protect personal and organizational information.
