Hiddenware is the newest definition we
came up with to cover the "legal" malware being installed on our
machines today. There are some companies fighting to install their
wares and then suing the scanning companies to remove their names
from being detected by the scan tools. We depend on these tools for
finding and removing unwanted programs. I hope you will join with us
in our fight to expose them and demand for them to make their
programs known in the 'add/remove' section of the windows XP control
panel.
I do not want to do business with these people and think their
programs are malware of the worst kind! If they were legit, why
would they hide it on your machine? Learn more about these hideous
programs being installed without your permission, and without a way
of you uninstalling them. Some may give the option of removing, but
they never really go away. When you restart your machine, they will
be back. Your machine belongs to you, not them, so why should they
store items on your property?
If you have Hiddenware not listed below, send it to us by using our
Submit Form.
You can report companies who do not act in a ethical manner at the
FTC web site.
1) WhenUAdware,
but fought to de-classify products as safe. Let them know how you
feel about this product being forced onto your machine.
2) ClariaAdware,
but fought to de-classify products as safe.
3) HotBarAdware,
but fought to de-classify products as safe. Let them know how you
feel about this product being forced onto your machine.
4) DSSAGENTMalware,
Broderbund Brodcast agent and used by some Mattel software. Shows up
in the Task Manager as dssagent.exe.
5) MyWayAdware,
that anonymously reports your surfing activity and personal profile,
when you land on a MyWay affiliated site.
6) Kazanon Software/Odysseus MarketingMalware,
that claims to be a peer-to-peer program. You will get hit with many
bad products, including ClientMan which hides itself and hijacks
your browser and serves up more malware, adware and spyware. And
lets not forget that Kazanon does not work at all!
7) Sony Music/First4Internet's XCPRootkit,
that will compromise your system's security. They have added malware
to "track what you do with the cd's you bought from them! They feel
they still have rights to them as well. You should consider what
cd's you buy from this point forward. For more information, please
go to our XCP Malware Review page.
8) Spytech ShadowThis
program must be installed by someone with access to your machine. It
allows the installer to hide all traces, then it tracks and logs
EVERYTHING you do and sends it to them, including screenshots!
Please help us expose hiddenware
programs that are not listed above. Send them to us and we will
include them here. This will inform other people about the unethical
computer programs, along with the companies that promote them. You
do not have to accept this kind of abuse. Together we can clean up
the internet and change the way it is affecting our lives.
Tomorrow's web must be preserved.
Take back control of YOUR machine. You own it, and you have the
right to know what is installed on it. If you continue to let
hiddenware & malware run on your machine, it will shut down, causing
you to buy a new one! Machines that become infected are most often
thrown out, instead of being repaired, because of the extensive
damage.
Would you let someone add hundreds of pounds to the trunk of your
car without your permission? This would cause your car to become
sluggish, cost you more for gas and breakdown more often from the
extra weight. This is exactly what is happening to your computer!
The normal load on your computer, loaded with
your files and programs.

This is the reason your machine is unresponsive or running slowly.
If you remove the rogue programs, your machine will seem like a new
computer again! Computers do not get slower from age; this is caused
by hiddenware, malware and the lack of proper maintenance. For a
