While the term taken literally suggests software that surreptitiously monitors the user, it has come to refer more broadly to software that subverts the computer's operation for the benefit of a third party. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Spyware differs from viruses and worms in that it does not usually self-replicate. Like many recent viruses, however, spyware &ndash; by design &ndash; exploits infected computers for commercial gain. Typical tactics furthering this goal include delivery of unsolicited pop-up advertisements; theft of personal information (including financial information such as credit card numbers); monitoring of Web-browsing activity for marketing purposes; or routing of HTTP requests to advertising sites.</p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://spywarecleaning.vroq.com/what-is-spyware">read more</a></p> Sun, 05 Mar 2006 19:56:52 -0600 vRoq Webmaster 4 at http://spywarecleaning.vroq.com http://spywarecleaning.vroq.com/about-spywarecleaning <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">SpywareCleaning.vRoq.com</span> is a dedicated resource/guide that will teach and educate users on the successful removal of dangerous spyware on their computers.</p> <p>We will focus on:</p> <ul> <li>What exactly spyware is</li> <li>How to determine whether your computer is infected already</li> <li>Proactive steps to prevent/block spyware from getting onto your computer</li> <li>How to clean your computer that is already infected by spyware</li> </ul> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> Sun, 05 Mar 2006 13:31:35 -0600 vRoq Webmaster 1 at http://spywarecleaning.vroq.com
