Anti-spyware 2007
Spyware can steal company secrets, your credit card or bank information, your identity, and it can crash your computer. In short, it’s not just for marketers anymore. Back in the day, spyware was an annoying little beastie that got buried in your computer and told DoubleClick how many times you bought faucets at Sears. If you bought a lot, soon you would start getting mysterious spam from plumbers. You would ask yourself how the plumber found out you were remodeling, only to find out that your buying activity had been tracked and your email harvested. That, sadly, still happens.
