Spyware, its effects, cure and prevention
Spyware: Meaning and its effects
Most people know about viruses which can harm their computer and so they install an antivirus software and think
that their PC is now protected.
But, the story doesn’t end here, there is another breed of harmful programs which can actually “spy” on all your
activities like your internet surfing session, it can log your keystrokes and in the extreme case your system may
be vulnerable for a attack from hackers.
So, there is an Immediate need to Arm your Computer against these type of attacks by using an Antispyware Software.
There are many available on the Internet which claim to clean your computer but actually they are “Spyware”
disguised as an “AntiSpyWare” software.
If you use your computer for shopping on the Internet then you are at an greater risk as they can steal your credit
card information. It is done by logging whatever keys you type on your keyboard and then it is sent to a remote PC
which is controlled by a unknown person.
So why stay at risk, Get yourselves an Antispyware.
I have been using “SpyBot Search & Destroy”, a free software which is really effective and has a very large
database of spyware. It also has a resident scanner which scans all the incoming and outgoing packets when
connected to the internet and protects the registry and alerts you whenever an un-authorised change has been made
to your system.
