Reclaim Your PC from the Internet Spies

Viruses are, however, not the only malicious software

programs out there. The newest addition to the evil software

family is the so called Spywares and a good anti-virus

program or firewall is not enough to safeguard against these

clever programs.

Spywares are known by many names such as adware,

trojans, malware, browser hijackers etc. The thing they all

have in common is that they will transmit your personal

information to companies and individuals who have an

interest in knowing about your surfing habits, online

purchases, credit worthiness, interests, web searchs, chats,

birth date and even your credit card number. The list goes on

and on, since Spywares are constructed by promotional

companies who need to know as much as possible about the

online consumers to target them effectively. By ewes dropping

on you online, these companies hope to be more successful

when sending out promotional materials.

Spyware usually enter your PC by piggybacking on other

software downloads. Every time you use downloaded or

otherwise shared files, including Freeware, Shareware or p2p

sharing programs, you stand the risk of unknowingly infecting

your computer with Spyware. Even confirmed virus free music

files, films and computer programs can have Spyware

stowaways. Once inside your computer, they will hide, monitor

all your actions and promptly start telling your secrets to

anyone willing to listen.

Contrary to most viruses the Spywares actually make an effort

not to be observed. Since they won¡¯t cause obvious harm

such as deleting important files or shutting down your

computer, they can thrive in your PC for years without you

noticing, sending out massive amounts of information about

all your online habits.

At a first glance, you might find this annoying but essentially

harmless. Why not let the companies send me promotional

material about things I am actually interested in? Spyware is

however far from harmless, since the infiltration by Spyware

not only let the companies know about your latest online

search, but also much more private matters such as credit

card details, online purchases of medicine and your private e-

mail correspondence with family, friends and business

partners. There are even examples of how this massive

gathering of personal information has led to an overall loss of

privacy and stolen identities. In the computerized world of

today it is not hard to imagine the amount of damage and

personal suffering the fraudulent use of a persons¡¯ identity

can cause.

It is obvious to anyone that we must start combating the

Spyware programs, but the best way of doing this is not to

panic and pull the plug on your PC, never go online again and

keep five feet away from all Freeware. There is a much better
