eulalyzer

Let’s say you found a nice website and you downloaded an unknown software which you thought would be useful. During installation, there is the end user license agreement (EULA), and you say or click ‘I agree’ without reading it. Have you ever read the EULA? not many people read it and so do I. Why? Mostly because it would require an attorney to truly understand it.Some malicious software developer or hackers use this as a method to intrude into your system. On agreeing, you unintentionally allow the software to take control over your computer resulting in a security breach.

Some software install spyware and adware agents or codes and certain EULA acquires access to your address book to spam existing contacts. Before installing new software, make sure that the source is genuine or you might be a guinea-pig used by software developers to test their products.
