Each month we will try to bring you an irresistible software offer... just as we did in previous months. Some are direct from Rose City and some are great toys and tools we have discovered elsewhere that we think you will like! 
This month's free software alert is AdAware from Lavasoft, the award winning, "spyware" detection and removal utility that offers the highest in safety, user satisfaction, support and reliability.
This great tool will comprehensively scan your memory, registry, hard, removable and optical drives for known datamining, aggressive advertising, and tracking components According to Whatis.com "spyware, in general, is any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet, spyware is programming that is put in someone's computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties." 
"Spyware can get in a computer as a software virus or as the result of installing a new program. Data collecting programs that are installed with the user's knowledge are not, properly speaking, spyware, if the user fully understands what data is being collected and with whom it is being shared."
Note that Rose City Software does not employ spyware of any kind with any of its many software offerings. We respect your privacy and want to help you keep your system free of dangerous spyware which is why we're alerting you to this great free option, AdAware. Note that AdAware also comes in various other more advanced editions which are priced accordingly. You may want to examine all the options before deciding what you might want. But at least try their free standard version by following the download links on their page for the free standard edition! You can also download the free version of AdAware here - We're sure you will love it! |
