The Shocking Facts are that 85% to 90% of computers that are
connected to the internet today are infected by some type of
adware and spyware!- Source CNN
These malicious software programs Invade your privacy and send
personal and private data to third parties and also take up hard
drive space and slow down your PC.
Spyware tracks your on line internet browsing and surfing
habits. It moniters each location you visit and what you have
looked up on that site. Spyware programs can even track every
keystroke you make on your keyboard and record every bit of data
you add to a online form, such as name, location and credit card
data when you make a purchase. This can lead to identity
hijacking and theft of personal and private credit card
information. Your PC surfing habits and personal and private
information is then sold to third parties.
Adware is another kind of spyware. It doesn't work by tracking
your information as spyware does, but what it can do is
literally switch your browser settings without your permission.
It can cause pop up ads to appear on your PC. A toolbar can also
be installed on your computer without your knowledge. Most of us
are unaware of the presence of adware programs installed on our
computer untill it starts to slow down, crash, blue screen or
programs stop working properly.
The spyware business is a billion dollar a year industry with
people getting very rich selling the information they steal
about you.
Downloading and installing anti-spyware software will remove and
protect your computer from spyware, adware, keyloggers, pop ups,
trojans and worms.
