Spyware, This Time It?s Personal!
by: Doug Woodall
First the basic definition of Spyware: It is a type of software which is installed onto your computer without your permission... It can log your keystrokes, which websites you visit, read you email, and even prowl your hard drives. At some point in time, it transmits its harvested information to the owner. Transmitting this data can slow your computers resources which can result in programs taking longer to load, make for longer waits for WebPages to load, and even complete system failures can occur.
A different type of Spyware called Adware can be included in a download. You didn?t notice it was included in the download when you read the user agreement since you might have given up on reading the user agreement after 2000 or 3000 words into it.
