ARCHIVED: What is MarketScore and how can I remove it?
MarketScore (the commercial name) or ossproxy
(the
program name), previously called Netsetter, is a program advertised to
enhance Internet speed. However, this software does not increase the
speed of your connection, but instead poses a threat by installing a
trusted certificate authority in your browser and routing
all your web connections through its proxies, logging and analyzing
them on behalf of MarketScore's customer sites. This includes
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) traffic, which it decrypts, then
re-encrypts, and communicates with your target host.
Be aware that the MarketScore service collects, analyzes, and stores everything you send to and receive from any web site. This includes passwords, credit card numbers, and email (if you use a browser-based mail program).
Many spyware removal programs, such as Windows Defender, can find and remove MarketScore.
