Are Your Computer Activities Under Surveillance By Strangers?
By Julian Pereira

Computer users are under constant surveillance by strangers dueto the existence of computer infiltrated Spyware.

Spyware may be described as any software that uses a person'sinternet connection as a backdoor approach intended to accesspersonal or business information, without the knowledge or consent of the computer user

Spyware is often introduced into computers when people download files off the internet. File sharing can pose risks of spyware download, when people download music, movie or other types of p2p file sharing programs. People must also beware of freeware,shareware downloads if they wish to enjoy computer usage withoutthe risk of spyware.


Spyware can also be introduced along with bundled software bought off a retail shelf.

A good suggestion would be to eliminate freeware or shareware programs that a person downloads through the internet and to reduce the number of hours spent using the internet. It seems that people that spend many hours online are more prone tospyware downloads.

Spyware that has infiltrated a computer may contain bugs that cause computer errors while the computer is in use. Spyware bugs can freeze a computer or slow down its response time A sluggish computer may be a tell tale sign of spyware infestation. Browser Hijacking can serve as another clue that spyware exists in acomputer.
