What is Spyware?

Spyware, also known as Adware, are programs installed on your computer (usually without your explicit knowledge) that transmit personal information to companies. The companies use this information in a number of ways including selling it to others, using it for marketing data, or tracking browsing habits. Secretly piggybacking on downloaded Internet software, spyware programs are known to generate pop-up advertisements and to cause PC crashes and other annoyances.

Microsoft® estimates spyware is responsible for half of all PC crashes. In some cases, it makes a computer unusable. Microsoft® highly recommends a full spyware scan BEFORE installing SP2 for Windows XP. Click here for details.

The FTC has described Spyware as "the biggest threat on the Internet today"
