What you should know about
Spyware |
|
What is spyware? |
Spyware is any software that secretly collects information from the
computer on which it is installed. Spyware then reports this
information back to its creator via the Internet. |
|
Has your computer slowed to a crawl? |
-
Spyware runs in the
background and steals system resources and bandwidth. It can also
conflict with legitimate software already on your PC and lead to crashes
and instability.
|
|
Are you overwhelmed with advertisements? |
-
Spyware can trigger
pop-up advertisements and lure you to unscrupulous Web sites.
|
|
Has your homepage or browser been altered? |
-
Spyware can switch
your Internet browser homepage without your consent. It can also add
unwanted buttons to your Internet browser's toolbar.
Even more dangerous, spyware has the ability to log every keystroke
or retrieve files on your PC. It can even install additional software
without your knowledge. |
