What
are the types of spyware that we can

generates several types of ads, possibly
keyed to the sites you visit on the
Internet. May download programs onto
your PC without your knowledge.
• Adware cookies:
Installed without your knowledge, these
tiny pieces of code store information
about your surfing habits. Can let
marketing companies create and sell a
profile of you.
• Browser hijacker:
Changes the settings in Microsoft's
Internet Explorer browser, changes your
chosen home page, and redirects your
searches. May render browser useless.
• Dialer: Disconnects
you from your Internet service provider
and reconnects you to the Internet using
an expensive line.
• Keylogger: Records
all the keystrokes you type. May let
outsiders access your logins, passwords
and credit card numbers.
• System monitor:
Records keystrokes plus e-mail, chat

Do
you have a foreign language version of
Spyware Detector?
No!
Currently we are supporting the
application options, the spyware
description and application help only in
English.
Where
can I receive a copy of your software on
CD?
Unfortunately,
at this time Spyware Detector is only
available as a digital download but we
hope to offer copies on CD's soon.
How
can I stop Spyware Detector from
quarantining a particular product?
As
special option of excluding legitimate
files is provided in the application -
"Exclude".
This will not detect spyware files that
are excluded in the list during the
other scans.
How
do I automatically download definition
updates for Spyware Detector?
The
default setting available in the setup
has the option of automatic update
enabled. This will start checking for
latest definition set available on the
server and start downloading new records
and spyware signatures. You can change
the default setting to Manual Live
Update if you don't want it to
automatically check for the updates.
Automatic Live Update will only work
after first restart of the PC.
What
is the number of spywares in the database?
Currently
we have a record set of over 109700
spywares along with spyware signatures.
That makes the scanning more
comprehensive. There is a research team
working on the database definitions and
constantly updating it.
How
do I configure Other Internet Security
Suite or Personal Firewall Plus for
Spyware Detector?
The
following exe files will have to be
allowed if you are using any firewall or
internet security suit.
1) LiveUpdateSD.exe
2) Spywaredetector.exe
The software has an integrity check so
will rarely get blocked or killed by any
other equivalent program.
How
does Spyware Detector work with Multiple
Users on one computer?
Spyware
detector can be used by multiple users
on one computer; the only pre-requisite
is that the user should not be a
restricted user.
I
am a registered Spyware Detector user and
am unable to get the upgrade?
In
such a situation you will have to check
primarily for your Internet
connection, or check with your
anti-virus or personal firewall settings
if they are blocking the “LiveUpdateSD.exe”.
If you still have problems please email
us at: info@spywaredetector.net
Which
port do I open in my firewall or proxy
server so that Spyware Detector can
receive updates?
Open
http:80 port that is
used for the Internet browsing. We do
not use any other ports.
I
am receiving a "subscription
expired" error when I download and
install the full version of Spyware
Detector. How do I correct this?
The
licensed copy of spyware detector is
valid for one year from the date of
registration. If you get the above
message within this one year period
please re-register the copy using the
same registration number.
If your subscription period expires, you
will have to repurchase a new
registration number to continue with the
software.
It
takes a long time to run a scan. Is this
normal?
No,
this is not normal. A "Quick
scan" typically takes 2-3
minutes to complete while a "Full
Scan" will take 10-15
minutes.
Chances are that this problem is caused
by antivirus softwares running in the
background while attempting to run a
Spyware scan. Try to disable your
virus scan software while performing
your Spyware scan and it should then run
properly.
IMPORTANT: Make
sure to re-enable your Virus Protection
after the spyware scan is complete.
I
have got a computer virus! I thought
Spyware Detector was supposed to stop and
eliminate viruses?
Spyware
Detector is a spyware removal program
and does not protect your computer from
computer viruses that come through
e-mail and other methods of
transmission.
For virus protection you will need a
virus protection solution such as Norton
Antivirus. As a quicker alternative you
can use Panda
Software's free virus scanner. It is
constantly updated and will help remove
numerous viruses.
NOTE: Panda
Software's free scanner only removes
viruses already on your system and does
not prevent future infections.
I
have CWS (Cool Web Search) or my home page
is constantly being modified to about:
blank. How do I fix this?
The
Spyware Detector provides you with an
option to protect your browser getting
hijacked. This option is available under
Max Shield Tab. By
default the application comes with “Home
Page Protection” enabled.
This will prompt whenever your home page
is getting redirected. We recommend you
to do a full scan so that registry
entries of CWS can be removed from your
machine.
I
ordered Spyware Detector but I never
received an e-mail with download
instructions.
Just
in case you have not received an email,
please send us the Purchase ID number,
so that we can give you the needful
support.
Other
products are free, so why should I pay for
your product?
Max
Secure Software has a team dedicated to
finding the latest spywares. Spyware
Detector will act as your privacy's
first line of defense against developing
threats. Also no free ware utilities
provide you with technical support. Also
all the free products do not have any
value added feature that we provide. The
value of scanning with Spyware Detector
can only be known to you if you purchase
it and use it for some time.
Spyware
Detector is not catching and removing a
particular spyware on my computer.
Please
inform us with the identification of
such a spyware and we will provide a
patch that should take care of its
deletion.
What
is ActiveX and what does it have to do
with Spyware?
The
embedding of ActiveX into the Internet
Explorer web browser enables a number of
functions that provide growth
opportunities for some types of computer
viruses, Trojan horses and spyware
infections. This style of malware
installation depends on ActiveX for
activation and propagation.
What
are the System Requirements for Spyware
Detector?
Minimum System
Requirements for installing and running

Class Processor, 12 MB Free disk space and
