SPYWARE PROTECTION
BEST INTEGRAL SPYWARE PROTECTION
Spyware is computer software that collects personal information about users
without their informed consent. The term, coined in 1995 but not widely used for
another five years, is often used interchangeably with adware and malware (software
designed to infiltrate and damage a computer respectively).
Personal information is secretly recorded with a variety of techniques,
including logging keystrokes, recording Internet web browsing history, and
scanning documents on the computer's hard disk. Purposes range from overtly
criminal (theft of passwords and financial details) to the merely annoying (recording
Internet search history for targeted advertising, while consuming computer
resources). Spyware may collect different types of information. Some variants
attempt to track the websites a user visits and then send this information to an
advertising agency. More malicious variants attempt to intercept passwords or
credit card numbers as a user enters them into a web form or other applications.
The spread of spyware has led to the development of an entire anti-spyware
industry. Its products remove or disable existing spyware on the computers they
are installed on and prevent its installation. However, a number of companies
have incorporated forms of spyware into their products. These programs are not
considered malware, but are still spyware as they watch and observe for
advertising purposes. It is debatable whether such 'legitimate' uses of adware/spyware
are malware since the user often has no knowledge of these 'legitimate' programs
being installed on his/her computer and is generally unaware that these programs
are infringing on his/her privacy. In any case, these programs still use the
resources of the host computer without permission.
