Do You Have Spyware?

Your computer could be one of the billions of those infected with some form of spyware and you might not even realize it. If an internet program is tracking and sending information back to a third party without your permission, when it lands on your computer, you have spyware.

Symptoms of Spyware

When spyware is on your Computer it will almost certainly cause your Internet connection to dramatically slow down and you will get an excessive amount of annoying pop-up windows. Left untreated, spyware could begin to crash your computer and even lead to identity theft.

Be Proactive

Proactive anti-spyware protection is mandatory in keeping your data private. Programs such as MacAfee and Anti-Virus Guard are offered for a small yearly subscription fee and they will help prevent, scan for and remove the bulk of unruly spyware from your computer.

Once installed, ensure that your software program is automatically downloading updates on a weekly basis and set to perform a full system scan every month.

Firewalls Are Your Friend

Information travels between computers and networks through various data ports. In addition to other security measures, firewalls implement a “stately inspection” of these data ports, preventing unrequested data from coming into your computer or network. In essence, firewalls hide your computer from others trying to get in through the Internet. Various software companies offer firewall protection, but hardware-based firewalls, like those frequently built into network routers provide a better level of security.

Day-to-Day Tips for Avoiding Spyware

Be cautious of suspicious emails from unknown sources, as they can infect your computer with spyware Steer clear of websites of ill repute. These are a haven for malicious and annoying intruders
