What is Spyware?
- Spyware is any software that: 1. installed on your computer
without your knowledge or consent; 2. tries to make it difficult
(or impossible) for you to remove it; 3. sends information about
you, your computer, your files or your Internet use to someone
without your knowledge or consent; 4. sends information about
you and discloses this to you in an obfuscated way.
What is Adware?
- Adware is very similar to spyware (for example, it will often
embed itself deep within your computer and make it almost impossible
for you to remove it). Its main difference is that Adware pops
up ads on your desktop constantly -- it makes its money from
ads, not necessarily from selling information about you.
where does Spyware / Adware come from, and how do your computer
get it?
- The answer to this question is probably as large as spyware
/ adware programs are numerous. Spyware / Adware often comes
packaged with other software, File-sharing and music-sharing
programs (often called "P2P") are the most serious
offenders. or Some spyware / adware you may download willingly,
not knowing that it does more than originally meets the eye.
there are other methods as well. Some spyware is downloaded
by your web browser pseudo-automatically. If you visit certain
websites, those sites will try to send spyware / adware as a
plug-in for your browser. Your browser will ask you if you want
to install the plug-in; if you say yes, your computer is open
to whatever that site wants to install. And even worse than
that, some spyware / adware acts like a virus to force its way
onto your computer. This type of spyware / adware is often used
by hackers and can cause all manner of problems on your computer.
And some spyware / adware is commercially sold. It is used by
employers to spy on employees, family members to spy on each
other; anyone who has access to your computer can install this
spyware / adware software and can then watch everything you type or everything
you look at on your screen
What is the dangers of Spyware / Adware ?
- The dangers of spyware / adware is obvious: companies are
building databases about the sites you visit and the things
you search for, people can watch everything you do on your computer,
advertisers can shove pop-ups in your face even when you're
not surfing, and hackers can even wreck your computer.
- Spyware / Adware software is often poorly written. If your
computer runs more and more slowly as it gets older, and you
haven't made any changes to it to make it run more slowly, there's
a good chance that it's getting clogged up with spyware / adware.
Since spyware / adware watches everything you surf, or everything
you type, and since there are many types of spyware / adware
that can all be installed on your computer at once, spyware
/ adware can really kill your computer's performance.
- With these concerns and many others too numerous to list here,
spyware / adware is considered by many to be on par with viruses
in terms of the power to harm your computer. And on top of that,
spyware / adware jeopardizes your privacy, something viruses
don't do. For all these reasons, the danger of spyware / adware
is great.
