What is Badware?

Badware is software that fundamentally disregards a user’s choice regarding how his or her computer will be used. You may have heard of some types of badware, such as spyware, malware, or deceptive adware. Common examples of badware include free screensavers that surreptitiously generate advertisements, malicious web browser toolbars that take your browser to different pages than the ones you expect, or keylogger programs that can transmit your personal data to malicious parties.

While some types of badware seem more annoying than dangerous, the consequences of badware infections can be quite harsh. Badware can cause computers to become slow, unresponsive, or even unusable. Personal information gathered by spyware can be abused, and financial or other personal data that falls into the wrong hands can lead to identity theft. Some forms of badware steal resources instead of information, perhaps by adding your computer to a network of hijacked machines called a botnet, that can then use your computer to send spam and phishing emails or even to help distribute more badware.

How Can I Avoid Being Infected with Badware ?

There are a number of ways to reduce your risk of becoming infected with badware. It is important to note that none of these precautions are foolproof, and that you can achieve the better protection by taking multiple precautions.

There are several important things you can do to help reduce your risk of infection:
Keep your operating system, browser, and anti-virus software up to date

Only download software from websites you trust
Be cautious when clicking on pop-up advertisements
Be skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true
Be wary of clicking links from unknown senders in email and instant messages
Whenever downloading or installing software, read the license agreement and policies carefully
In addition to these measures, you may also want to download and run an anti-spyware program for protection against certain forms of badware that may not be detected by anti-virus software. The links below refer to reviews of anti-spyware applications. As with your anti-virus program, be sure to keep your anti-spyware software up to date.

Bing.com

Bing is a web search engine created by Microsoft,every one having question like what is new in this and what is difference between live.com.

A New Approach to Internet Search

search experience, includes deep innovation on core search areas including entity extraction and expansion, query intent recognition and document summarization technology as well as a new user experience model that dynamically adapts to the type of query to provide relevant and intuitive decision-making tools.

Bing helps identify relevant search results through features such as Best Match, where the best answer is surfaced and called out; Deep Links, allowing more insight into what resources a particular site has to offer; and Quick Preview, a hover-over window that expands over a search result caption to provide a better sense of the related site’s relevancy. Bing also includes one-click access to information through Instant Answers, designed to provide the sought-after information within the body of the search results page, minimizing the need for additional clicks.

More and more customers are regularly spending time with search engines, engaging in complex, multi-query and multi-session searches. Respondents also said an organized search experience would be twice as useful in helping find information and accomplishing tasks faster. Bing includes a number of features that organize search results, including Explore Pane, a dynamically relevant set of navigation and search tools on the left side of the page; Web Groups, which groups results in intuitive ways both on the Explore Pane and in the actual results; and Related Searches and Quick Tabs, which is essentially a table of contents for different categories of search results. Collectively, these and other features in Bing help people navigate their search results, cut through the clutter of search overload and get right down to making important decisions.

In Bing Travel, the Rate Key compares the location, price and amenities of multiple hotels and provides a color-coded key of the best values, and the Price Predictor actually helps consumers decide when to buy an airline ticket in order to get the lowest prices.
