Internet Businesses Should be Able to Check The Popularity Of Any Computer Optimisation Software In 15 Minutes or Less!
Overview - This article draws attention to a fast method that anyone can use to independently review the popularity of any computer optimization software (e.g. Registry fix software, registry cleaner software, error fixing software etc..). It also uses the real life example of a website dedicated to help users fix computer errors, which has already adopted this method for screening relevant software for further review.
Readers should be forewarned that this method is still new and imperfect, yet that it still represents a superior alternative to most of other approaches available .
The problem - Never has the choice of computer optimization programs been so large, yet most computer users do not tend to rely on impartial information to verify the popularity of computer optimization software before buying their preferred solution. This is a problem because computer optimization software, which are not popular may be new, unproven or both and are therefore riskier than more popular ones.
The options - Most users still rely on forums. Yet the problem with this approach is that forums provide, at best anecdotal evidence of the popularity of any software. Another obvious downside is the risk that participants to the forum may seek to just promote their own software instead of providing their independent opinion.
Software vendors’ sites provide another method. Clearly vendors are not independent and this is an inherent limitation of this method.

Popups and Spyware Protection Need Better Tools Than Google and MSN Toolbars !
This article exposes the downside of relying on free software to block popup ads in the wider context of adware and spyware protection.
Adware is a popular term to describe any software which can play, display or download advertisements on computers. Some adware are also known as spyware because they invade the users’ privacy by obtaining then sharing some of their personal information without their knowledge.
Adware popups have become a common irritation for most users and many are now looking for free ways to disable them. Google and MSN toolbars offer free popup blockers functionality and many users rely on them for protection. Most users do not realise the link between popups and spyware, very few take the right steps to protect themselves and the majority of users concentrate on just blocking popup ads. Yet experience shows that both the removal of adware and spyware, as well their prevention are necessary steps to protect users privacy, preserve the integrity of their systems and enable a pleasant on line experience. This contrasts with just blocking popups, which simply creates a false sense of security. This is due to the fact that in reality, the most serious problem with popup ads is not that they are a permanent irritation, but rather that they are the symptom of spyware infection. This issue is clearly evidenced by the fact that many popups appear when computers are not even connected to the Internet.
Changing the browser settings is free and a step in the right direction
