|
Why Is Marketscore Spyware So Dangerous?
Marketscore claims to speed up Internet access, but it is actually spyware that compromises the security of the following Microsoft Windows operating systems: XP (all versions, regardless of service pack); 2000/2003 (all versions); NT 4.0; 95, 98, 98 SE, ME. Marketscore does not affect computers with Macintosh or Linux operating systems.
Marketscore collects all Web data by rerouting all incoming and outgoing Web traffic from a computer through its own servers. If Marketscore software is installed on your computer, this rerouting lets Marketscore monitor and collect all data you enter or receive via your Web browser, including:
* Every keystroke you enter in a browser window, which could include your passwords, banking information, credit card numbers.
* All of your Web-based e-mail - both message content and e-mail addresses.
* Every Web page you access and all data on each Web page -- both regular html pages and secure https pages, such as data you are authorized to view in Wolverine Access.
* All of your instant message exchanges.
