How to prevent installation of adware and spyware through freeware?

When installing some freeware programs, unwanted software or other nasty things are also getting in to the system which poses a security risk to us. Scanning with different virus engine, submitting them to online analyzers like Virus Total and Anubis are some of the methods to find such risks.

Another important thing is, when installing a software, every one should read the end user license agreement (EULA) provided with the program to see if the software you're about to install displays pop-up ads, transmits personally identifiable information, uses unique identifiers to track you, or much more.

But nobody take interest in reading this long document. No one puts EULA at the top of their reading list. Failing to read this often poses a security risk. Here comes the importance of EULAlyzer. EULAlyzer can analyze license agreements in seconds, and provide a detailed listing of potentially interesting words and phrases.

Using this application is simple. Download and install it. Once you have successfully installed click on the ‘Analyze’ button and copy and paste the EULA that you want to scan in the space shown. It scans through the pasted EULA and provides you with the highlights which will take you less time to read. This saves you the time of reading the whole EULA.

Click on the ‘Statistics’ tab to view the overall statistics of EULA analyzed. You can download EULAlyzer from its homepage.
