  • Virus threats
    • ]]>     SpyWare / AdWare is software that runs on your computer with out your knowledge or permission. The purpose of SpyWare / AdWare is to collect personal information from you and send that back to marketing companies so they can target you with advertising resulting in un-wanted Popups and Spam. Some SpyWare / AdWare will continually reset your home page and add often embarrassing entries in your favourites to sites you have never visited. New icons may also appear on your desk top. Your preferred Search Engine may be redirected to another site which looks the same but returns fake results with its own sponsors at the top of the results. New keyword links can appear on all web pages taking you to their own sponsors. The most malicious SpyWare can target your financial information such as credit card numbers and is able to record your key stokes when you access online banking and other secure services.

    If that scares you IT SHOULD!
