Protecting your computer is essential especially since so many of us are using our computers to pay bills, do online banking, and constantly communicating via emails, Twitter, etc.  Spyware is any software program that covertly gathers our private information compromising our privacy and in worst cases, can lead to financial loss or identity theft.

If you are a PC user, you will want to start right now protecting your computer if you are not already. You may be at risk if you have participated in  peer-to-peer file sharing and downloaded toolbars, music or other downloadable software, hence the name Trojan Horse. The user downloads one thing believing it is safe when hidden in the software is the spyware that can now begin to harm your computer.

Trojan horses and spyware collect information from the memory stored on your computer.  If you have done any online banking, that information is stored and now the undetected spyware can send that information back to its’ home base.  One visual clue that you have installed a Trojan Horse is your computer will begin to run slowly as the spyware uses your bandwidth to collect your private information and send it back to waiting thieves.

Spyware can also log your keystrokes, scan files on your hard drive, snoop as you chat online or send emails, install even more spyware and read cookies. Cookies can be deposited on your computer when you visit a website to identify you as a user. They are generally harmless, but cookies can tell the spyware what sites you are visiting. They can collect this information for advertising purposes and sell it to advertisers.

Although there are opportunistic spyware authors out there, you don’t have to be a victim and you can enjoy surfing the net and using your computer worry free.  An application such as Spyware Doctor can give you the peace of mind you deserve to surf the web spyware free and keep your private information private.  For more information, please click the banner below:
