What's So Hot About Hotbar?
|
|
Last week Sunbelt announced that Hotbar sent Sunbelt a Cease and Desist letter, apparently demanding that Sunbelt stop detecting Hotbar software and offering users an option to remove it. I immediately updated my Threats page. But then I started wondering: How does Hotbar get onto users' PCs? And what does Hotbar do once installed?

Does Jeeves Ask for Permission?
|
|
My new Ask Jeeves Toolbar Installs via Banner Ads at Kids Sites shows a misleading banner ad particularly likely to target kids. When users click on this banner, AJ neither shows nor references any license agreement. And AJ uses euphemisms like "accessible directly from your browser" rather than explicitly admitting that it will install a web browser toolbar.

MS AntiSpyware vs Ad-Aware vs SpyBot
|
|
On January 6th 2005, Microsoft introduced the first public beta release of its solution to the spyware problem. Dubbed Microsoft AntiSpyware, the application was born after the purchase of Giant Software Company, which developed their anti-spyware application. Microsoft AntiSpyware offers plenty of features which is sure to turn some heads. Not only does it scan for spyware/adware, it can also offer real-time protection which prevents spyware from being installed in the first place. Though Microsoft’s new toy offers really nice feature as we are about to explore, how well does it match up against the already known spyware removal champs; Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D? Let us find out.
