What is spyware? Spyware is software that takes control of
your browser and online activity. It can point your browser to
Websites without your permission, flood your computer with popup
ads, and cause your computer's performance to slow to a crawl.
Spyware is used by some marketing companies to tailor advertising
to your search patterns and interests. Even worse, spyware is used
by criminals to steal your personal information to forge documents
or open up illegal lines of credit. Whether the intent is criminal
or sneaky marketing, spyware is an invasion of your right to
privacy.
How does spyware infect computers? Spyware installs itself
without your knowledge or permission. This happens most often when
you download something online, such as free music, software, or
content that some Websites download to your PC without a warning
that files are being transferred. Suddenly, your computer begins
to lag in performance, your Web browser seems to have a mind of
its own and you know something is wrong, but can't find any
evidence that anything has changed.
How do I get rid of it? Unlike most software, spyware does
not come with any options to uninstall! It will not be listed in
your Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel or appear as
a program on your menus. Some spyware is so malicious that it
includes a separate "helper" program that automatically downloads
and installs the program again, if you manage to find it and
remove it the first time.
