Threat = General
Spyware- Spyware is a program that
surreptitiously monitors your actions. While they are sometimes
sinister, like a remote control program used by a hacker, software
companies have been known to use spyware to gather data about
customers. Spyware programs can also direct banner ads and other
unwanted advertising your way. Spyware also uses your computing
resources, slowing down your system. If you have multiple pieces of
spyware running, the system can be slowed down so much that it can
become unusable. How do you get ride of spyware? The best way is not to
get it in the first place. Use a browser that has security built in,
such as firefox.
Be careful downloading free software from the Internet. Be sure to read
the EULA- End User Licenses Agreements. They will usually tip you off
that you are getting something other than what the program is
advertised as doing. If you think you are running spyware, use the
below program to remove them.
