Spyware and Adware
Warning
Some software labeled as "anti spyware programs" are spyware themselves. Please be very careful when you select your anti spyware program.
What is Spyware and how can they become a threat to your home computer security system?
Spyware and Adware, also called "Malware", are files made by publishers that allow them to snoop on your browsing activity, see what you purchase, monitor your emails, record your credit card numbers and worse. If you're like most Internet users, chances are you're probably infected with these files. Simply surfing the Internet, reading email, downloading music or other files can infect your PC without you knowing it.
Spyware allows hackers to take control of your browser and alter your computer system files. These computer parasites slow down your Internet connection by inundating you with unwanted Spyware pop-up ads.
This is just a short list of the harm that Spyware can cause.
If you never download free programs from the Internet you may think you are safe from spyware, but ‘ain’t necessarily so’. Some websites can plant it on your pc without you even knowing it. Spyware will send messages & tell the originator just what you’ve been doing and where you have been surfing.
One way spyware can sneak onto your computer is by not reading the End User License Agreement that is nearly always on the first screen when you install a program. Better start reading it, as spyware companies are putting some pretty bad stuff there, & if you don't read it, you will end up being sorry!
What we can do to detect and remove Spyware?
1. Install a personal firewall (Read details in above "computer hackers" section).
2. Install Spyware protection software (Anti Spyware).
Anti Spyware is a tiny computer security software is dedicated to protect your PC from Spyware attacks. They are very easy to install and use.
