​Malwarebytes

Over the years I’ve written about Malwarebytes many times. It’s the only anti-malware program I pay for. I like the free versions of many programs, but Malwarebytes I am willing to pay for from experience. The experience is from the many times Malwarebytes has fixed a problem computer, mine, and many other peoples.
 
They’ve been sending newsletters to me, which I do not often read. Occasionally there will be one that catches my eye, but usually I pass. One of the authors on the site has a page for the articles she’s written, and I am including it HERE.

She has some interesting articles on STALKERWARE. You probably know, at least vaguely, that your phone is a GPS device, it maps in a few ways, like getting you to an address you are not familiar with. However, it’s a 2 way street, and your phone can lead others to you. Carol and I actually set that up in our phones on purpose, and it’s a common thing for parents to use for their children. The problem arises when you don’t want it or when it’s being done by a stranger.
 
Don’t freak, like most scenarios, that is not common, just something you should know about. Read the article if it interests you.
