A Computer Associates publicou uma lista com os piores spywares, como parte de uma campanha para combater estas pragas digitais. No topo da lista, encontra-se o Kazaa, software P2P da Sharman Networks.
A companhia entrou na guerra contra spywares com o lançamento do eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware r5, cuja principal função é evitar a instalação e execução de spywares, adwares e trojans no sistema.
Computer Associates International Inc. has launched a list of the worst spyware threats as part of a new program to combat unwanted software "pests." At the top of that list: the peer-to-peer application Kazaa.
The company initiated its Spyware Information Center earlier this month with the launch of eTrust PestPatrol Anti-Spyware r5, enterprise-oriented software designed to tackle unwanted spyware, adware and trojans, a category of threats it calls "pests" to distinguish them from viruses and security vulnerabilities. But out of the entire category, the top threat is the Kazaa peer-to-peer application, which CA characterized as prone to degrading network performance, consuming vast amounts of storage and creating security issues.
