Malware and Spyware. What's the difference?
(1/1)
crabby3:
A while back I used Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Chameleon to kill the FBI Scam on my machine. :-* However...
I don't understand why neither one will detect Adware/Tracking Cookies. Aren't these malware as well?
Today, for instance, I opened Windows Mail but couldn't connect.
I closed everything and ran Chameleon. After the scan for '...known malicious...' (their words) it automatically connects to MBAM Update then runs a quick-scan.
Don't know if Chameleon finds any malware because the DOS black-screen doesn't list anything. The quick-scan finds zero.
Seconds later I run Super Anti-Spyware. It finds (13) Adware/Tracking Cookies. I click Quarantine and close.
Open Windows Mail and instantly connect/receive.
Usually I run SAS before I shut-down everyday... just forgot yesterday. :-[
