Spyware: What you should know

Spyware can enter your computer through many covert routes: instant messenger, email and through clicked popup ads. A little known mode of infection is to install the software during the installation of other software you have chosen to download such as music or plug-ins. Be warned to read all disclosures whenever you install something on your system . Yes, we know that this sounds boring and time consuming, but what you may not realize is that the inclusion of spyware is sometimes written right into the license agreement or privacy statement. By simply agreeing to a user agreement, you may be unwittingly saying yes to spyware!
