Solving a Spyware Intrusion
Spyware is a frequently occurring problem for all internet users
today and its threats continue to multiply. When you download
freeware, shareware or other types of file sharing software you
are usually also allowing in spyware applications.
Whether it is adware, malware, Trojans or pop up ads spyware is
following and recording your personal and usage information then
sending it out to intruders. Even with highly secure firewalls
or anti-virus programs your system is vulnerable to spyware
because it sneaks past these securities by piggybacking on
downloads you authorize.
Once in your system spyware will slow the rate at which your
computer works, making it difficult to use as the infection
grows and continues to run. Your browser or even your entire
system will crash because spyware is running. This can ruin
important information and the computer system.
Spyware monitors and records your usage and internet browsing
habits then relays the information to the intruder. Some forms
are capable of hijacking your credit card, social security
number and password information.
If the intruder does not directly utilize the information stolen
they will usually sell it to other individuals or companies that
will use the information at their discretion. To get rid of this
malicious software and avoid more serious infections Lavasoft
