Anti-Spyware Software

• Have you noticed the appearance of new program icons or folders that you did not install?

• Are you being bombarded by annoying pop-ups?

• Have you noticed new toolbars on your web browser that you did not install?

• Has your web browser start page changed?
  
  If you answered yes to any of these questions, your computer is probably infected by spyware.
  
  But even if you don't see anything, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behavior, or even worse, recording your personal information.

Keystroke Loggers can record virtually everything you do on your computer, including usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers. Everything you type or click on is continually stored in a log file and then regularly uploaded to the spyware website.
 

By simply browsing to a website, your computer could become infected by spyware. In fact, 9 out of 10 computers connected to the Internet are infected with spyware.

What is Spyware?
Spyware is a malicious program that employs a users Internet connection in the background to send personal information about that user to advertisers or other interested parties without the users knowledge or permission.

Spyware is similar to a Trojan horse in that users unknowingly install the spyware when they install something else, but differs from viruses and worms in that it usually does not self-replicate.
 

PCI can install Anti-Spyware software on your computer that will remove known spyware and help protect your computer from the threat of imminent spyware.
