Anti-Spyware Software
Have you noticed the appearance of new
program icons or folders that you did
not install?
Are you being bombarded by annoying
pop-ups?
Have you noticed new toolbars on your
web browser that you did not install?
Has your web browser start page changed?
If you answered yes to any of these
questions, your computer is probably
infected by spyware.
But even if you don't see anything, your
computer may be infected, because more
and more spyware is emerging that is
silently tracking your surfing behavior,
or even worse, recording your personal
information.
Keystroke Loggers can record virtually
everything you do on your computer,
including usernames, passwords, and
credit card numbers. Everything you type
or click on is continually stored in a
log file and then regularly uploaded to
the spyware website.
By simply browsing to a
website, your computer could become
infected by spyware. In fact, 9 out of
10 computers connected to the Internet
are infected with spyware.
What is Spyware?
Spyware is a malicious program that
employs a users Internet connection in
the background to send personal
information about that user to
advertisers or other interested parties
without the users knowledge or
permission.
Spyware is similar to a Trojan horse in
that users unknowingly install the
spyware when they install something
else, but differs from viruses and worms
in that it usually does not
self-replicate.

Anti-Spyware software on your computer
that will remove known spyware and help
protect your computer from the threat of
imminent spyware.
