You might have heard the term but you are thinking, "what is spyware?"

In the surface spyware is a necessary part of the web. It looks into what you are doing, and will target advertising to cater for your needs and requirements. This is often called adware. Spyware will take any information you search for and type into your computer and will pass it on to a third party.

Now, that may not be a problem, unless you are typing up the minutes of a meeting that is company or government confidential (often called classified).

“With spyware on your machine all the information you key in can be transmitted to a third party who may pass it on or use it themselves. ”

This information can also include any online banking access that you have as well as any credit cards you use on the Internet.

There is a third type of spyware often called malware that not only passes the information on your computer to a third party, but then prevents you from using your computer by taking it over.

You will be wondering, why is it dangerous?

A loss of security is always dangerous for you or your business. Giving unknown people the keys to your bank account and the ability to arrange for loans in your name is suicidal.

How long do you think it would take you to sort out the problem of explaining to your bank and other banks that you have not requested or received their loans? It can and does drive people to suicide.

There is a tremendous need for education among Internet users to stop the spread of any form of spyware onto any computer they own or are responsible for.

Now you will want to know, what can I do about this?

Is my anti-virus software not enough?

“ If all you have on your computers are anti-virus programs then no it is not enough. ”

Even worse, you are probably already infected with spyware if you have surfed on the web. You need either a suite of programs to give you integrated Internet security, or you need a number of different programs to combat the threat from virus, spyware and to prevent any unauthorized access of your computer (firewall).

Before you start surfing around on the web make sure you are protected.
