Spyware & Malware

Like it or not, if your PC is connected to the Internet, it has some form of Spyware on it. In the olden days (gosh, what was that... 2 years ago?), “ Internet Cookies” were the big concern among novice users. As we came to learn, cookies do not scan your hard drive for credit card info, and are more annoying to disable while browsing than not.

Today, certain forms of Spyware have evolved into a malicious beast. Now our concern is real, and we can no longer pawn it off as just annoying. For example, there are forms of Spyware applications called “key loggers” that can see your every keystroke or “ Trojan horses” that actually take control of your PC.

Not surprisingly, most Spyware applications are included with most file-sharing services such as Kazza, Morpheus and LimeWire. If you thought you were getting away with something by downloading FREE stuff, you’re sorely mistaken. The price is your privacy.
