The Internet is daily becoming a much more dangerous place as regards virus attacks and spy ware. All computers I have built or repaired have good anti virus programs - usually AVG - and good anti spy ware programs - usually Ad-Aware SE. I think you are all well up to speed on AVG, though I will run through it later, first I want to concentrate on Ad-Aware because it is not a usual run of the mill program and many of you may never have bothered to use it. Ad-Aware clears spyware from your computer which anti virus programs will not trap - mainly because spy ware is not a virus as such. This is how Sophos describe Spyware. Spyware includes keyloggers, backdoor Trojans, password stealers, and botnet worms, which can cause data theft, financial loss and network damage. Spyware installs itself onto a user's computer by stealth, subterfuge and/or program engineering and sends information from the hacked computer to a third party without the user's permission or knowledge. Clearly then, spy ware can be very dangerous, hence I would like all my friends to keep their computers as clean as possible from this silent attack on your privacy.
