A bit more elusive, spyware has become a growing problem for internet users. From useless advertising software and cookies to software that will change your homepage or steal e-mail addresses and credit card numbers, spyware has quickly become the new scourge of the online community. Unfortunately, many of the most common websites on the Internet can be a source of spyware. It is our experience that those who download copyrighted material (music and software) or view adult-oriented websites are most susceptible to spyware infections. Although there does not currently exist a detection and removal tool that will remedy all of your problems, AdAware is one of the best. Like vacuuming your carpets, just run it for basic maintenance as needed. That will vary from one user another, depending on your internet habits.

Pop-ups from websites can get troublesome and annoying. One of the simplest ways around this is a simple plug-in for your browser that manages the loading of websites as you surf. It should be noted however that some websites require a pop-up for security reasons (Windows Updates Website, for example). Google Toolbar will give you the option to allow these windows that you desire to view.

Spam is the term that the computer community uses to describe the unwanted e-mails that have become a nuisance to so many of us. The difficult thing about spam is that your e-mail program needs to understand and learn which e-mails are considered spam and which e-mails are desired. An appropriate plug-in, like SPAMfighter will help your e-mail program differentiate between the two and ultimately diminish your spam to a minimum.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging.

SeaTools for DOS will instruct the drive to run its built in Drive Self Test (DST) and give either a pass or fail status. If you are troubleshooting your disc drive and the DST passes, then you have a good drive!

SeaTools for Windows has replaced SeaTools Online and PowerMax. SeaTools for Windows is a comprehensive, easy-to-use diagnostic tool that helps you quickly determine the condition of the disc drive in your external hard drive, desktop or notebook computer. It includes several tests that will examine the physical media on your Seagate or Maxtor disc drive and any other non-Seagate disc drive.
SeaTools for Windows tests USB, 1394, ATA (PATA/IDE), SATA and SCSI drives. It installs onto your system. SeaTools for Windows is completely data safe.
