抵御 FunWebProducts
Posted under: 最讨厌malware/spyware 侵入电脑，于是作此文，谈谈如何抵御 FunWebProducts。
FunWebProducts 是 malware/spyware:
From TNet.com
FunWebProducts is an operation of a company called IWon. It installs hard to uninstall software that is included with its “FREE” software, most noteably, WebSearch.From liamdelahunty.com
FunWebProducts hi-jacks your browser with little warning, and doesn’t allow you to easily remove it or change the default settings it insists upon and it tracks your browsing habits. That in my book is spyware.Spyware/Malware impairs users control over material changes that affect their user experience, privacy or system security; use of their system resources, including what programs are installed on their computers; or collection, use and distribution of their personal or otherwise sensitive information.
Amongst other things FunWebProducts may change your default search engine to MyWebSearch, and it may install a toolbar. You get a “Search Assistant” for when you mistype a URL. You can install it by “upgrading” your smileys in various messengers, cursors for windows, screensavers etc.

在那之后，请记得安装 Spybot – Search & Destroy 抵御 Spywares / Adwares / Malwares，安装后，全面扫描系统，并依照Spybot指示，去除电脑系统里的spywares/malwares/adwares。
Spybot – Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules from your computer. Spybot also can clean program and Web-usage tracks from your system, which is especially useful if you share your computer.

For advanced users, it allows you to fix Registry inconsistencies related to adware and to malicious program installations. The handy online-update feature ensures that Spybot always has the most current and complete listings of adware, dialers, and other uninvited system residents.
除了 Spybot之外，也能安装 Glary Utilities 或 Advanced SystemCare。
