Parasite DetectorSend this page to your friends! What are parasites? ‘Parasite’ is a shorthand term for “unsolicited commercial software” — that is, a program that gets installed on your computer which you never asked for, and which does something you probably don’t want it to, for someone else’s profit. The parasite problem has grown enormously recently, and many millions of computers are affected. A lot of parasites that are currently known about are only compatible with Windows, and some only affect the Internet Explorer browser. When this script is run in IE for Windows, it can detect many of them. But not all, for tedious technical reasons. |
