Spyware Protection
Is someone keeping an eye on you? Similar to someone looking over your shoulder and writing down information about what you do online, Spyware (a type of software that is implanted on your computer without your knowledge) secretly transmits information about your online activity and the data stored on your computer. Spyware is often installed as a component of freeware programs, including some Peer-to-Peer applications. Remember to take caution in downloading freeware or accepting free downloads As with personal firewalls, there are anti-spyware programs for individual user-machines that help in detecting and cleaning spyware from your system. Such programs are often free for home or individual use. Two common anti-spyware programs are Ad-aware and Spybot.
