Everything you need to know about Spyware

At PCMechanic they’ve published a quite massive article on spyware. Together with viruses and worms, spyware is one the biggest threats against your computer and even if the intentional use isn’t necessarily as harmful as a virus, the effects of spyware can become really annoying.

At PCMechanic they’ve not only explained what Spyware really is, but also different kinds of spyware and the best ways to protect yourself against these digital pests.

“Spyware is something that has been becoming increasingly common on systems. A system brought online with no protection is completely vulnerable within the first few minutes it is connected to the Internet. Statistically speaking, you have about 20 minutes before the system is completely loaded up with spyware and malware. It has become more of a common problem than virus infections.”

The entire article weighs in at 17 pages and for those who feel unsecure about spyware and its effects there is a lot to read. And of course they tip you on efficient software.
