Description from PC Pitstop LLC.“PC Pitstop collects and analyzes information about running programs during our full system tune-up process. This lets us spot emerging trends in new viruses and spyware, and it also helps us to identify benign-but-unneeded programs that many systems are running. Since PC Pitstop opened in March 2000, we've tested and optimized more than a million computers. During that time, spyware has become a growing problem that threatens the stability and performance of your PC. Our statistics indicate that more than 20% of PC's have some sort of spyware active in memory, stealing CPU cycles, using up system resources, delivering unwanted advertising, and often creating system instability. Worse yet, spyware can threaten your privacy. PC Pitstop believes that just about everyone will avoid spyware once they know the full story about what it does and the effects it has on a PC. Everyone knows that a virus is bad news, spyware can be just as bad for the performance and reliability of your PC. And it's not just computer users who are affected by spyware. Many advertisers are not fully aware of the tactics that spyware makers use to lure users into installing the software, and they don't realize their ad money is encouraging even more aggressive tactics. So we've created this site to educate both users and advertisers about spyware.”
