Spyware

How They Attack

Spyware Spyware can be downloaded from Web sites, email messages, instant messages, and from direct file-sharing connections. Additionally, a user may unknowingly receive spyware by accepting an End User License Agreement from a software program.

  • Always read carefully the End User License agreement at Install time and cancel if other “programs” are being installed as part of the desired program
  • Keep software and security patches up to date
