The Dream Team Tackles Spyware
Tired of downloading several programs to remove spyware? Those days might soon be over as a “dream team” might be forming to battle spyware. The initiative will see ICSA Labs, McAfee, Symantec, Thompson Cyber Security Labs and Trend Micro join forces to produce software. The work of the group will be collected on the website spywaretesting.org and Legit Reviews thinks the idea rocks!
Five computer security firms are collaborating on a common naming system for spyware and will co-produce tools to remove the malicious software. The initiative hopes to remove some of the current confusion caused by anti-spyware firms managing their own labelling and removal methods.The group said collaboration was needed as the amount of spyware in circulation was rising by 50-100% per year.
