Spyware
Spyware is one of the fastest growing threats in the Internet today. It is surprisingly easy to accidentally infect your PC with spyware and once it’s there, you’re in trouble.
What Is Spyware?
“Spyware” is a general term for a program that downloads onto your computer and then starts performing malicious activities like triggering waves of pop-up ads, collecting your personal information, or changing how your computer is set up. And typically, a spyware program will do this without your consent!
Here are some signs that you might have a piece of spyware on your system:
- You see pop-up ads even when you're not on the web.
- When you open the Internet, the page you normally see first (your home page) has been changed.
- You notice a new toolbar in your browser that you didn't want, and find it difficult to get rid of.
- Your computer is sluggish
- Your computer crashes more often than usual
And these are just some symptoms of a spyware infection.
How does Spyware get on my computer?
There are a number of ways that spyware can be installed on your computer. Some spyware will install on your PC if you simply visit the wrong website. Other spyware is carefully hidden in other software downloads and will install at the same time as the other software. The more dangerous a piece of spyware is, the more carefully it is hidden and the harder it is to detect when it’s on your system.
Stop Spyware in its tracks.
