Adware Adware is annoying recently has become as dangerous as spyware. Most protection software now includes anti-adware, anti-spyware, and some include anti-virus. Spyware Spyware is dangerous, capturing your keystrokes and passwords then sending the information to criminals. For example your ebay, credit card, or banking login and password. Be cautious of ads for Spyware and Adware removal programs unless you know the source. Computer Virus Computer viruses are software programs deliberately designed to interfere with computer operation, record, corrupt, or delete data, or spread themselves to other computers and throughout the Internet, often slowing things down and causing other problems in the process. Just as human viruses range in severity from the 24-hour flu to the Ebola virus, computer viruses range from the mildly annoying to the downright destructive, and come in new and different forms. The good news is that with an ounce of prevention and a little knowledge, you are less likely to fall victim to viruses and you can diminish their impact. |
