Hi Petrina,
Spyware is software that secretly gathers information about a user while
he/she navigates the Internet. This information is normally used for
advertising purposes. Spyware can also gather information about email
addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. This is when it
becomes a threat and should at all times be kept off your computers.
Also some spyware is so bad that it can cause problems on your PC such as
errors etc.
An Anti-spyware program is a program that protects your PC against spyware
and helps to keep your computer and personal details secure. An example of
an anti spyware program would be a piece of software called; spybot. Below
is the link to a couple of Anti Spyware programs, should you wish to
download them and run on your computer.
Spybot 1.60:

Super Anti Spyware:

Hope this helps you some Petrina.
Paul.

Hi Paul,
In a recent reply on this list you told someone to run a good spyware
programme. What is spyware & how do I get my hands on it.
Thanks a million
Petrina
