Simply put, spyware is programs installed in
computers without the user’s knowledge to track internet usage and
submit advertisements based on the information gathered.
Spyware is commonly picked up by downloading and using one of the
many freeware or shareware programs. Some forms of spyware get in just
by visiting a web site, although this form is usually a small, tracker
cookie that can easily be removed by cleaning out all cookies.
To counter the threats of spyware users should get a spyware
removal program such as SpyCop. SpyCop works by scanning your computer
system, searching for spyware and adware from the known definitions of
the threats. Once a list of detected infected files is compiled you
can select to fix or remove the spyware.
SpyCop also give the option of creating back ups of the deleted
files in case a good program was accidentally removed and needs
restoring. Keep up with the monthly updates and run the scan regularly
so you computer will be fully protected.
