Я завел этот список, чтобы сразу ответить на все многочисленные вопросы об альтернативах программам, "зараженным" шпионами. Список будет время от времени обновляться, по мере того, как будут находиться примеры.
Приложения для пиринговых сетей (P2P), несущие шпионское или подобное ему вредоносное ПО:
Чистые программы для пиринговых сетей (см. так же статью про них на SpywareInfo):
"Зараженные" шпионами или рекламой менеджеры закачек (дополнительно прочтите нашу статью о менеджерах закачки article):
- Download Accelerator Plus (содержит рекламу и возможно, шпионскую часть, проверено на версии: 7)
- FlashGet (Cydoor, проверено на версии: 1.40, платные пользователи могут отключить показ рекламы)
- Gozilla (eZula и Radiate, проверено на версии: 1.44.39)
- NetAnts (Cydoor, tested version: 1.25)
Download managers that are clean:
Password managers that are infected with spyware or similar kinds of malware:
- Gator eWallet is coming from the company Claria, formerly known as GAIN, formerly known as Gator. eWallet is advertised as the world's most popular digital wallet, which may be due to the fact that many users don't know that they get it, as different Gator apps are often bundled with software like P2P installers. The eWallet itself is not bad, but I would simply not trust an advertisement company to handle all my passwords when there are better alternatives.
Password managers that are clean:
- RoboForm is a nice and clean password manager, supporting IE as well as Mozilla (sadly, no Opera yet). And a very nice thing is that you can sync your passwords with a special Palm or Pocket PC application, carrying your passwords always with you - in a well-encrypted form of course.
- The Mozilla and Firefox browsers have an integrated password manager, but it's data is not well-protected.
- Internet Explorer has a password management as well, but complete solutions like RoboForm will give you a lot more features.
