If you use the internet, "There is over 90% chance your computer
is infected with spyware" - Source CNN.
Just think about it. You probably have at least one, if not more
computers in your home. Most computers today have internet
access. And if you receive email from others and surf to a
couple of sites can you be almost completely sure you have some
kind of spyware installed in your computer.
How dangerous are spyware?
Let me give you a short list of things spyware can do,
* Spyware can run completely hidden on your computer * It can
slow down your computer a lot * It can spy on you and send
everything you type to someone else * It can record everything
you do, allowing someone to see it later * It can spy on you and
send account information, passwords, credit card numbers and
similar to a third party * It can "steal" files, pictures,
videos and more from your computer
Some spyware will do just a few things and others everything
from the list above, and more.
You must keep your computer clean from spyware or risk loosing
personal information, financial information and even your
private photos or family videos.
Run a spyware scanner regularly to clean out any spyware that
may have sneaked their way into your computer. Do note that
antivirus software (even the most expensive ones) have problems
to keep spyware out. So get a good anti spyware software and use
it!
No matter what the spyware's purpose really is, the bottom line
is that at the very least it will cause you countless hours of
problem solving and slow downs on your computer.
Scan your PC now to make sure it is clean. If you find anything,
avoid using any credit cards or visit your online bank until the
PC is cleaned with a top anti spyware software.
There are many different types of software that can harm,
cripple or just reside quietly inside your computer. Beside
virus, the most common types are Spyware, Adware, Malware,
Trojans, Backdoors, Bots and Dialers. They all have different
agendas but will to a degree change the way your computer
function and how well it works. This beside the obvious threath
the program itself impose.
