Dont Click That! and Other Tips to Avoid Spyware

Overview

Spyware is simply a program that is used by advertising industries to automatically direct one to their websites or fill the screen with pop-ups even though one has set the pop-up blocker on high. This software gets installed on the computer either without the knowing or when one thinks one is downloading something else. There are even types of spyware that can track what keys one is typing and translates them into what one has said. This is how hijackers get the personal information. Spyware can make the computer go slower because of the extra processing the computer is doing.
