Microsoft AntiSpyware
Beta download -
|
Protect
yourself in real-time against pernicious
programs that change your Internet
settings and exploit your private
information. AntiSpyware detects spyware
programs, tells you where they're
located, gives you a risk rating, and
recommends what action you should take.
You can then disable the program or
permanently remove it. If you
inadvertently remove any programs you
later want, you can get them back.
The following link will take you to
Microsoft's site, where you are asked to
validate that your Windows installation
is genuine. Please note that
although the program did work on our
test machines, it is beta software, so
we recommend you use it with caution
(i.e. you may not want to install it on
your primary machine). |

SpoofStick - a simple browser extension
that helps users detect spoofed (fake) websites. A spoofed website is typically
made to look like a well known, branded site (like ebay.com or citibank.com)
with a slightly different or confusing URL. The attacker then tries to trick
people into going to the spoofed site by sending out fake email messages or
posting links in public places - hoping that some percentage of users won't
notice the incorrect URL and give away important information. This practice is
sometimes known as “phishing". SpoofStick makes it easier to spot a
spoofed website by prominently displaying only the most
relevant domain information. It's not a comprehensive solution, but it's a good
start. SpoofStick contains no adware, spyware, nagware or other
unhealthy additives. [Free download for personal, non-commercial use]
