hijacks. |
SpyBot
Search and Destroy |
Search your hard disk for so-called spybots or adbots,
the modules that are responsible for showing ads and
transmitting information back to vendors. If Spybot
Search and Destroy finds such modules, it will
remove them or replace them with empty dummies. In
most cases, the host software still runs after
removing the bot. Among the adbots Spybot targets:
Aureate, CLPRS, Comet Cursors, eZula HotText, Gator,
GoHip, Radiate, WebHancer, and WildTangent. Spybot
also removes your usage tracks (last visited Web
sites, opened files, started programs, and cookies),
so even spybots that are unknown can't transmit this
private information. The program supports all three
major browsers: Internet Explorer, Netscape
Communicator, and Opera. |
|
RegSeeker |
The Windows Registry gradually fills up with unneeded
entries, which slows down your system. RegSeeker
cleans out your Registry so work can flow smoothly
again. This Registry cleaner includes a Registry
backup function, so you can restore any entries that
you might miss later. |
|
WinOpen |
WinOpen allows apps to
be run or files to be opened in a CD AUTORUN.INF
WinOpen is a very small Win32 application that gives
you much better control over what application is run
or what file is opened within an AUTORUN.INF file. |
