Ad-Aware
SE Personal Edition 1.06 Adware is known by many names--spyware, trackware, or even Big Brotherware. While producers of adware claim its purpose is merely to collect information about Internet habits in order to deliver ads tailored to a surfer's interests, privacy advocates are concerned about the potential misuse of this data. Where does it come from? Most likely it was installed alongside that free software widget that you downloaded just last week, without you even noticing. Ad-aware identifies and removes these surreptitiously installed applications. Using updateable "reflists," which are sort of like antivirus DAT files, Ad-aware scours your system--including Registry and temporary Internet files--and looks for traces of recognized adware modules. When it's finished searching, it displays a list of what it found and lets you select the items you'd like to remove from your system. And when coupled with its companion program, RefUpdate, you're always assured of using the most comprehensive list of adware to search for. The main drawback is that some ad-supported programs, such as GoZilla Free, will no longer function if you remove their ad modules. If privacy is your main concern, Ad-aware will help keep you anonymous on the Web. Microsoft
Updates and Patches Microsoft Ofiice updates for all versions. Welcome to MajorGeeks Boot Camp, an introduction to using this website. Introduction: MajorGeeks is here to help you get the most out of your computer mainly by offering tools to the beginner or advanced user (hopefully you someday). Try not to be overwhelmed, just take it one step at a time. Your hosts (Jim and Tim) are both self taught, as are many of our visitors. Many of the files found here give you a nice interface and even explain things for you in simple terms. Many do not even make modifications until you apply them (we cover some of those sections below) We check files ourself for quality before they are posted, so many of the files submitted to us do not get listed. This simply means we check every program to be sure it basically does what it promises and is spyware and virus free. Because of the many configurations of computers and personal tastes out there, we would not eliminate a program simply because we didn't like it. That said, we must remind you that MajorGeeks.Com can not be held liable for any damage (physical or emotional) that may occur from any downloads or advice received from the MajorGeeks.Com website. Yeah, that last sentence sucks, sorry to get all legal like on you. Many times we find bugs or problems and hold off on posting the file until we can email the author. Still with us? Great, heres a few areas of MajorGeeks to get you started, although you do not need to do them in any order: Computer Networking from About!
Virus, Trojan, and Worm Security Alerts!
