SPYWARE : Simulation of spyware being loaded in memory
Spyware is a small program that installs itself on a PC without the user's knowledge or permission.
Spyware can be installed from software or a web page.
A spyware program can:
- display advertising pop ups when you are browsing the internet
- collect data on your computer and your browsing habits
- add unwanted toolbars or buttons to Internet Explorer
- slow down your computer
This test simulates the activity of spyware in memory (known spyware CMESYS.EXE).
Please note that standard anti-virus and spyware scanners will not detect this spyware.
Standard anti-virus programs do not detect spyware and most spyware scanners do not actively scan memory.
In order to adequately safeguard your computer, you should install
a real-time protection program.
