The Anti-Spyware Coalition today released two new resources to help consumers and enterprises better protect themselves against spyware and unwanted adware. The coalition also unveiled final plans for an international workshop slated to take place in Ottawa on May 16.
The coalition's two new documents walk consumers and network operators through the steps they should be taking to protect their machines against adware, spyware and other malicious software. The documents -- "Protecting Your Network: Mitigating Spyware in Organizations" and "Protecting Your Computer: Detecting and Avoiding Spyware" -- discuss technological defenses against spyware; safe surfing and network management practices; and techniques for removing unwanted programs once they are installed. The documents are available on the ASC Web site http://www.antispywarecoalition.org/documents .
