AdAware Total Security

It’s really easy to research information about people nowadays.  With a click of a button, one can where the person works, plays, his/her hobbies, likes, and of course, friends.  And  the turnaround time for getting the information counts less than a second.

In the belief that information at hand is information that can be lost, I learned to separate bits and pieces of and about me that can be shared.  Knowing that identity theft has absolute repercussions that may paralyze a person’s life, I immediately rummaged around for a software that can protect my information.

The Ad-Aware Total Security is a wholistic approach to online security.  It protects the system against intruders that thrive and comb information from your root system to your online activities.  It lets the user go online without thinking twice about security, as it blocks information threats and removes them at once.

What you can get from Ad-Aware:

Safe, Sound, and Secure. It has a state-of-the-art malware and spyware protection that effectively blocks hackers, viruses, rootkits, hacker, malware, and spyware.  It also lets you monitor your child’s online activity and prevent access to dangerous sites.

Economical . The Ad-Aware Total Security saves money as it combines the essential functions in online protection offered in separate programs.  It lets you maximize your space, time and money, that acquiring and installing individual programs produce.

Peace of Mind. It continually protects your system from possible intruders and identity thieves.  You can surf, transact, and visit social networking sites worry-free, leaving you with total enjoyment in your tasks.  It also optimizes your PC’s health with its tuning features, making your computer maintenance hassle-free.

For a family man, protection for my family has always been my number one priority.  And by these benefits, being online-secure gives me a step towards a healthy family life.

Beware Your Login DetailsResearchers at security firm BitDefender have detected a new do-it-yourself kit created to produce customized Trojans that pilfer Facebook login details, passwords stored inside browsers and even VPN credentials.

The kit is termed as “Facebook Hacker” and it is very easy to configure, just like any do-it-yourself tool crafted with the ‘skiddie’ [script kiddie] in mind.

BitDefender’s Loredana Botezatu explains:

“Once run, the malicious tool will snatch the victim’s Facebook account’s credentials, along with all the usernames and passwords that we carelessly ask the browser to remember for us … because Facebook Hacker also targets the Internet browser and instant messaging clients to pick up the entire list of “remembered” identification data.”
