Spyware is probably Net's biggest problem. Luckily, there are some pretty effective anti-spyware solutions available. Unfortunately, most of them work by scanning hard-drive and removing spyware rather then preventing spyware infection. Even firewalls can't prevent spyware from getting onto PCs when it piggy-backs its way with legitimate downloads.
The idea behind RegFreeze is brilliantly simple. Since most spyware applications use exactly the same tactics – installing itself into browser, hijacking homepage, redirecting and showing pop-ups – RegFreeze simple prohibits Registry entries that control these processes from being changed. If the software detects that these "critical" Registry values are being changed, it notifies the user so that they can be reverted back. No spyware can function if it does not make its way in the Registry.
RegFreeze does not interfere with normal installation process of legitimate browser add-ins that other solutions mistakenly classify as spyware (Google bar, for example). RegFreeze also has a database of 12000+ known spyware definitions updated weekly. It scans memory, processes, Registry entries, files and folders to make sure no malicious software stays undetected. Besides protecting against homepage hijacking, the program closely guards browser search page, autorun settings, and effectively protects against BHO installing.
RegFreeze is extremely user-friendly. Once purchased, there is no need to pay for software upgrades – the program comes with a lifetime of free spyware definition updates. Moreover, if there is a spyware problem that RegFreeze can't fix, technical support is available 24 hours a day for registered users.
