awareness regarding computer spyware
Monday, October 10th, 2011What is a Spyware? How it affect our system? Spyware is software that gets into our computer and literally “spies” on your activities. The spyware can range from the relatively harmless use of cookies tracking you across multiple websites..to extremely dangerous “keystroke loggers” which record passwords, credit cards, and other personal data. . Virus is replicated from one system to many systems through internet or disk, whereas spyware is self replicate one. That data then gets relayed to the person who put the software on your computer. Whether it spreads to any other system? No, Spyware is entirely different from the virus. It enters into the system through software, in particular free trail software and cracks or serials and so on. First, it rides along with software you download from the ‘Net and install on your system. Second, they come as email attachments (much like viruses) and automatically install themselves on your computer when you open the email message.

So to avoid this problem try to use original software and use good anti spyware software in your system and be highly protected.
