When fighting viruses and spy ware, be careful which programs you download and install. There are a lot of software programs on the Web that are designed to give you viruses, hack into your computer and to get information about you. Some of the ads for these programs are even designed to mimic good known software programs so as to trick you.

If the program has been a problem for others, you will find references for it! There are many, many names by which these programs are known. Some of the current software programs out there right now that do this include:
Please note that this is NOT an all inclusive list! I still recommend that people stick with well known software for anti-virus, anti-adware and anti-spyware purposes.
