Remote Control Software
Remote Control Software is a real threat to everyone who owns or even uses a PC. Some examples of Remote Control Software include backdoors, botnets, zombies, dronware, and Trojan Horses.
An infection by any of these programs is very bad news for you and your PC.
Remote Control Software is a particularly dangerous form of spyware that gets installed onto your computer without your knowledge or consent. Once it is up and running the hacker that gave
it to you can control everything on your PC just as if they were sitting at your keyboard! Imagine the damage that can happen:
- Hackers can read your e-mail (do you want everyone knowing everything about you?)
- Hackers can send e-mail from your PC and making it look like you sent it (and we're not just taking about harmless messages - we're taking about viruses, Trojan Horses, and other forms of malware)
- Hackers can watch you log into your private accounts and steal your login name and password (identity theft, here we come)
- Hackers can accesss all of your personal files and steal whatever information they want (perhaps you have last year's taxes saved on your PC after you prepared them?)
Anti-spyware software will protect you from Remote Control Software, but it's not enough to simply use anti-spyware software. You need to use effective anti-spyware software. You must to be protected by an electronic shield working around the clock that not only blocks all known spyware from even entering your PC, but also gets automatically and frequently updated, without your intervention, every time new spyware gets unleashed and every time existing spyware gets modified by their evil creators.
