What is Spyware?

3wPlayer is Spyware.

Spyware, sometimes referred to tracking software, is a program that is installed secretly in someone’s computer to collect information about the user’s Internet activities, e-mail addresses, passwords and even credit card numbers. The information is then transmitted to a third party which uses it for advertising purposes. Spyware usually installs without the user’s knowledge and/or consent, as a drive-by download (sometimes by downloading a freeware or shareware program), or by clicking on a deceptive pop-up advertisement window. Spyware can be usually thought to be Adware, software designed to serve advertising, because it includes components for tracking and reporting user information. However, marketing companies refuse to have their products called “Spyware,” so as a result Internet security companies refer to such applications as “potentially unwanted programs”.

How do I know I have 3wPlayer on my computer?

Good question! The first step in detecting and removing 3wPlayer is by asking yourself whether or not your computer has been infected. 3wPlayer, as well as other unwanted software, can be difficult to detect and even more difficult to remove but knowing the 3wPlayer symptoms can start you on the road to having a 3wPlayer-free computer.
