8 Million Users Have Used the SpywareNuker Line of PC Protection Software to Check Their Personal Computers for Spyware and Adware
TrekEight, LLC announced today that over 8 million users have used the SpywareNuker line of PC protection software to check their personal computers for spyware and adware.
(PRWEB) September 8, 2005 -- TrekEight, LLC announced today that over 8
million users have used the SpywareNuker line of PC protection software to check
their personal computers for spyware and adware.
Though usually used for
marketing purposes, (such as tracking the websites you visit and the items that
you buy online and then directing advertisements to you), spyware can have the
capability to record your credit card number, personal identification numbers,
and all of your passwords. Recent studies have claimed that as many as 9 out of
every 10 PC's contains installed adware or spyware of some kind.
"Spyware
and adware remain annoying, threatening, or even downright dangerous," said
TrekEight President James Leasure. "Despite more public awareness, new spyware
and adware infections pop up almost daily. TrekEight stays on the forefront of
detection by maintaining our own in-house team of spyware and adware hunters to
find, identify and isolate the latest infections."
"However, as spyware
and adware reach a critical mass in terms of the public’s consciousness, it’s
just as important to be sure to minimize false identifications," continued
Leasure. "We make every effort to not only protect the consumer, but also not to
cause them undue panic or to damage the reputation of innocent software
vendors."
SpywareNuker 2005 works by allowing users who think they might
be infected with spyware or adware to check their computer free of charge by
visiting http://www.nuker.com.
Questionable programs and applications are listed with a brief description of
functionality, and users are given the option of utilizing the SpywareNuker 2005
program to assist in removing the program(s) if the users are not comfortable
doing so themselves.
Chief Technical Officer Bojan Gajic commented,
"SpywareNuker 2005 is designed above all for ease of use and to offer maximum
protection to the user who doesn't have time to master the intricate process of
working with the PC's registry. SpywareNuker 2005 is a simple, comprehensive and
effective solution for anyone, from the beginner to the advanced user, looking
to increase their defenses against unwanted adware or tracking
programs."
