What are “Spyware” and “Adware” programs ?
These programs are used to track your movements on the web and convey this statistical information to companies via your internet connection. But unlike cookies, they may also monitor your actions on your computer. Spyware and Adware programs are usually installed during the installation of a shareware or freeware program, the consent for installation being included in the shareware/freeware program’s user agreement. But some of these programs may also be installed without consent, in some cases after a user has refused an installation request. These programs will not likely transmit credit card numbers and passwords to unauthorised parties. But information gathered from the registration of the associated program(s) may be collected in conjunction with the information obtained by the Spyware/Adware programs. “Spyware” and “Adware” may be removed from your systems using Lavasoft’s Ad-aware. Please use this software carefully as it may disable the shareware/freeware programs that were us
