Spyware Issues

Q1. What is spyware?

Spyware are programs that collect your personal information.

Spyware may collect personal information including:

  • Internet sites you have browsed,
  • e-mail addresses from your computer,
  • passwords, or
  • credit card numbers.

Spyware almost always installs itself without your explicit permission. Spyware may get installed:

  • by tricking you into clicking an option in a misleading pop-up window, or
  • together with a useful program.
