Regardless of where it comes from, Spyware sends information about you somewhere.

Some will try to “hijack” or take over your Web browser to “force” you to go to web sites you don’t want to visit, like the viruses known as worms. Sometimes these sites will look like “legitimate” sites – for example, major search engines. The reasons why people want to drive traffic are complex (as a web marketer you may be familiar with some of them) but the most important thing is you don’t want your machine to be a pawn in someone else’s web marketing game without your permission.

You may not be able to entirely stop spyware from entering your system, but you can minimize it through a combination of behaviors and browser settings, then find and remove it with an easy-to-use variety of software tools.

Because spyware is continually downloaded onto your machine, it needs to continually be found and removed.

And the “definitions” update is even more important here than with virus programs, and, importantly, is often not automatic – so you will need to update the definitions yourself every few days.

While all the major security software companies are introducing spyware stopping products, and the latest releases of the major web browsers have some anti-spyware functionality, as of late 2005 the two best pieces of anti-spyware software remain FREE for personal use, and are quite inexpensive for business use.
