SPYWARE BLOCKERS / SPYWARE REMOVERS

What is Spyware?

Spyware is a fast-growing threat that represents a major security and privacy risk. Spyware is a program that is installed, with or without the user's permission, and can monitor computer activity while broadcasting the information back to an outside party that controls the program. Spyware comes in many shapes and sizes. Some types of spyware are simply an annoyance causing increased spam or unwanted pop-ups, while others can threaten your security. These pests often lurk silently on your computer until someone or something sets them off. Spyware can do more than steal your personal information. It can also rob your PC of its speed, stability and Internet access efficiency.

Why Detect and Remove Spyware?

• Confidentiality and Privacy - Spyware can steal passwords, personal data, credit card numbers and social security numbers, all which can lead to identity theft.
   

• Integrity - A system has integrity when the information it contains remains as originally intended by the system's owner(s).   Spyware can alter this system information without the users' permission and can therefore threaten system integrity.
   

• Availability - Spyware may reduce a user's ability to access files or systems efficiently, when desired.   A system that is down or extremely slow denies service to its users.
   

• Productivity - Productivity is compromised when frequent ads pop-up, when bandwidth and storage space is consumed, when pages load slowly, etc.   Spyware robs your PC of its speed, stability and Internet access efficiency.
