- While the Internet is a powerful resource and provides users with many
useful and often entertaining things to see and do, it also has its dark
side.
Most people are familiar with freeware, shareware, cookies, media players,
interactive content, and file sharing. What they may not realize is that
some of the aforementioned may contain code or components that allow the
developers of these applications and tools to actually collect and
disseminate information about those using them.
They can track your surfing habits, abuse your Internet connection by
sending this data to a third party, profile your shopping preferences,
hijack your browser start page or pages, alter important system files, and
can do this without your knowledge or permission. The security and privacy
implications of these exploits should be quite obvious and undesirable on
any system or network!
Lavasoft is the industry leader and most respected provider of anti
Trackware solutions. We have developed several applications that will
provide you with the means to keep your computer or network free of these
compromising and intrusive threats to your privacy.

- Malware
- "Along with viruses, one of the biggest threats to computer users on the
Internet today is malware. It can hijack your browser, redirect your search
attempts, serve up nasty pop-up ads, track what web sites you visit, and
generally screw things up. Malware programs are usually poorly-programmed
and can cause your computer to become unbearably slow and unstable in
addition to all the other havoc they wreak."
