SPYWARE QUESTIONS
What is spyware?
Spyware is software that installs itself or run on your computer,
without your knowledge. Spyware might not display symptoms
after
it infects your computer, but many types of malicious software
or
unwanted programs can affect how your computer runs. Spyware
can
monitor your online behavior or collect information about you
(including personally identifiable or other sensitive information),
change settings on your computer, or cause your computer to run slowly
How can I tell if I have spyware or unwanted software on my computer?
You probably have some form of spyware on your computer if:
•There are new toolbars, links, or favorites that you did not intentionally
add to your web browser
•Your default home page, mouse pointer, or search program changes
•You type the address for a specific website but are taken to another
website without notice
•You see pop-up ads, even if you're not on the Internet
•Your computer suddenly begins to start or run slowly
There might be spyware on your computer even if you don't see any
symptoms.
This type of software can collect information about you and
your computer
without your knowledge or consent
Where does spyware and potentially unwanted software come from?
Spyware can be installed by websites, downloaded programs, or a program
you
might install from a CD, DVD, external hard disk, or other
removable media.
Spyware is most commonly installed through free
software, such as file sharing,
screen savers, or search toolbars.
Can I get spyware without knowing it?
Absolutely. Spyware can be installed from a website through an
embedded
script, or program in a webpage. Some unwanted software
requires your help
to install through web pop-ups or free software that
require you to accept a
downloadable file.
What do I do when a pop-up won't close until I agree to install a program
or change my home page?
Some websites will repeatedly display pop-ups asking you to install a
toolbar
or change your home page. When this happens, try closing the
browser window.
If the pop-ups still appear, right-click the Internet
Explorer button in the taskbar
at the bottom of your screen, and then
click Close Group. As a last resort, close
any other programs you have
open, and then restart your computer.
