This news is having a strong impact on the computer sector. Manufacturer Dell faces strong criticism from customers and a computer security company, who accuse her of spying on the Internet browsing patterns of people who have purchased her equipment.
The information initially originated as a rumor on various Internet forums., where Dell customers claimed that the computers in question included a pre-installed version of the MyWay Search program. The function of MyWay Search would be to analyze the user's browsing patterns and their searches, in order to present you with sponsored links rather than actual search results.
This Dell customer review is supported by security company Sunbelt Software, which claims that MyWay secretly records user browsing on sites associated with MyWay. According to Sunbelt Software, MyWay spyware uses the information to tailor the advertising offer presented to each individual user.
Dell categorically rejects the information. The company emphasizes that it does not sell computers with pre-installed spyware. According to Dell, It is only a tool that shows relevant search results and can be easily deactivated by the user themselves., escribe IDG.
