Spyware
How many peeps are aware of spyware cause I was not untill today,
it a simple program that most of us download and **********(not
getting sued ) has it to name one. And we all say YES to the agreement
dont we, well I got a little program to check if I have it and seeing
as I have programs I know do, it was a sure thing. So as soon as
I opened my little Program it told me I had 6 sitting in my registry
which was a suprise so being the curious type I am I did a deep
scan of my files and it found 60.
Briefly the spyware leaves a id marker on your PC and every time
you use that program it sends info back to there host over the internet
giving them details of where you have been and what you are doing,
all in the name of marketing. Now alot of freeware carries adverts
as a banner and I dont know if you have noticed that alot of the
time it is about something that you show an interest in, this "Target
Advertising" I would call Subliminal and an invasion of our
privacy but hey time to get off my soap box if you want to know
more just say so.
