I was doing Peer to Peer on Window XP and decided to take my router off. There are two software that are protecting me, ZoneAlarm and Symantec antivirus. Out of the blue, my ZoneAlarm detected 5 different services requesting permission to sent my information to God know who. I decided to deny them and as persistence spyware, it keep asking and I have to configure ZoneAlarm to automatic deny the service. I try to end their service by ending process in the Window Task Manager, but the service keep coming back. I end up installing Ad-aware to remove Spyware/Adware. It did remove certain registry and files, but not all. I also have to go to the add/remove program to remove some of them. Finally, I have to manually delete the folder in my program directory. It so easy getting them, but so hard to get rid of them.
Is it legal for Spyware/Adware program to enter you system without your permission? I don't recall giving them permission to be install into my computer. I wish the people that create Spyware/Adware would just disappear and take their junk with them.
It is important to have hardware firewall such as router and combine them with software firewall. The router in this case would be better as it has better protection. Anyway, curse those Spyware/Adware maker.
