BOCA RATON, FL (PRWEB) August 7, 2004 -- www.bhozapper.com) A part of the Powerhouse Programming security (line of) products, BHOZapper is a professional, easy to use security tool designed to remove unwanted browser helper objects that can hijack a users computer, invade the users privacy, or even worse, steal their identity.
The browser helper object (BHO) is an ActiveX object that is automatically created when running the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. It usually runs as a hidden component in the background and has full access to all events and properties of the browser.
Some applications use this feature for "good" purpose - to make an integration with the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. However, there are some spy-wares and ad-wares that install themselves as Browser Helper Objects without the users permission, to spy on their browsing habits or to bother them with unwanted ad pop-ups. Moreover, BHO could crash the browser or cause it to run slower than normal.
Installing BHOZapper will protect the users computer. It will detect existing, unwanted BHO and protect and alert the user to any new attempts to add BHO.
BHOZapper is also able to perform various security and maintenance functions for the Microsoft Windows Registry thus increasing the softwares performance through the making of backups and the removal of invalid entries.
