What
is spyware and how can I protect my computer from it?
|
"Spyware" generally refers to computer programs that track your online
activities. You may unknowingly install spyware when you download programs
from the Internet, install software from disks, or open suspicious email
attachments.
Some spyware can change your system settings, serve pop-ups, record your
surfing habits, or display advertisements over Web sites you visit. Other
spyware will run separate programs on your computer for a variety of
purposes, sometimes slowing your computer down in the process. Some
malicious spyware will log everything you type on the keyboard and send this
information back to those who put the spyware on your computer in the first
place. As a result, you could become a victim of identity theft.
Spyware is often difficult to remove without the help of specialized anti-spyware
programs (see tools). Spyware scanners, such as Spy Sweeper, Ad-aware
and SpyBot Search & Destroy, identify
and remove spyware from your computer. To prevent future spyware
installation on your computer, you might try prevention utilities like
Spy Sweeper,
SpywareBlaster
and SpywareGuard.
