What is Spyware & Adware?

0

Spyware and adware are malicious programs that are designed to track or steer your internet browsing habits and deliver unwanted adverts to you when you are connected to the internet. They are not designed to damage to your PC, but they will spoil your enjoyment of using it as they can cause a dramatic slow down in your PC’s performance. Even worse, some of these programs are designed to obtain credit card details from your online transactions while others even have the capability to change the settings on your PC causing all sorts of problems including changing your internet dial up connection number to a premium rate number.
