A lista também contém o PurityScan (que abre janelas pop-up e promete apagar imagens pornográficas do computador), Transponder (vx2), que monitora o uso do browser, KeenValue (adware que coleta informações pessoais) e o Perfect Keylogger (que monitora o uso do teclado, enviando informações digitadas para seus criadores) .
Anti-spyware companies have warned users to be aware of a malicious program that hijacks Web searches and disables security settings in the Internet Explorer (IE) browser.
Webroot's list of top 10 threats includes PurityScan, a program that displays pop-up ads onto computers and claims it can delete pornographic images on the user's computer; Transponder (vx2), an Internet Explorer "browser helper object" that monitors Web browsing and sends relevant advertisements; KeenValue, an adware program that collects personal information and sends advertisements to users; and Perfect Keylogger, a monitoring tool that records Web sites visited, keystrokes and mouse clicks.
