The latest inductees into this hall of software shame include four programs: FunCade, a gaming application that comes bundled with BullsEye and NaviSearch; Team Taylor Made's Jessica Simpson Screensaver; a spyware scanner called UnSpyPC; and WinFixer 2005 and 2006. Each was cited by StopBadware.org for specific reasons that relate to deceptive installation, causing harm to other computers, modifying other software or transmitting user data, interfering with computer use, or being difficult to uninstall completely.following the first batch of "badware" announced in March, which included Kazaa, MediaPipe, SpyAxe, and Waterfalls 3.

The worst part is that you almost never know you have it until your computer begins to act differently. And, once you discover it, you are left without a way to easily remove it from your computer.This is a common problem for consumers and small and home-based businesses. As a matter of fact, small businesses are even most at risk because they often do not have a firewall in place to protect their networks from “company spies.” And, since so many small businesses are home based, they are just as susceptible to spyware and viruses as the home PC.
