Protecting Your Computer From Spyware
Interesting article for the lay person.
We’re talking about spy-ware that installs itself on your computer when you’re connected to the internet. Causer says, “What it does is gather information off your computer and sends it to a clearing house. They gather information and then other companies will turn around and sell that information to someone else. Then they’ll send you junk e-mails, spam and pop ups. If it’s malicious they will get your credit card numbers and passwords and use those to further infect your machine and steal personal information.
