Spyware Problems? Try Panda Quick Remover! A free application meant to eliminate spyware	By Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor 27th of December 2006, 11:54 GMT Adjust text size:


Spyware is an infected file that can collect your information and make important changes to your computer. One of the most popular modifications made by a spyware is the replacement of your browser's homepage with another website that can harm your system. Today's antivirus solutions are so well developed that they are able to detect even the most powerful spyware files but, the latest threats can represent a real danger for your computer. It's obvious that you must own a competent application to block spyware actions but there are a few applications that can do this efficiently. Panda Software, security solutions developer, released a new utility to block spyware distributed free of charge. PQ Remover Special Top Spyware can detect the 20 most dangerous spyware files and delete all their files with minimum action from the user. The program will scan the system automatically and will clean it in a short time. "Spyware has become a major Internet plague. These programs are designed to collect information about users' Internet habits, and therefore represent an invasion of privacy that must be eradicated. Because of this, we have made this new tool available to users, completely free of charge, so they can rid their computers of the most dangerous and widespread spyware," said Luis Corrons, director of PandaLabs. "Spyware has become one of the most serious Internet threats over recent months. According to IT Observer1, 90 percent of computers are infected by this type of malicious code. The reason behind this situation is that spyware conforms to the new financial motivation of malware creators, as it can return large-scale profits, either from the sale of data gathered or through the sending of junk mail," Panda Software said in a press release. If you want to view all the spyware files that can be detected by PQ Remover Special Top Spyware, you should visit this page. The application was also tested by Softpedia and it is available as a free download HERE.
