Spyware has boomed into the top internet threat in no time and it continues to affect more computer users each day. Spyware is best described as a rogue application that latches to your system so it can record personal information and monitor internet usage. As spyware has grown it has become much easier to be infected with it.

The most serious form of spyware comes as keyloggers which record each keystroke made on an infected computer.

Computers can be infected by visiting the wrong web sites because at insecure sites, hackers are able to take advantage of security vulnerabilities through the browser. This happens most often through Internet Explorer, however Microsoft tries to release patches to these security vulnerabilities once they have been found but users are still at risk until then. Users

Law makers are striving to find regulations for these spyware privacy invasions but until then users must protect themselves.
To secure your computer now you can download several free and purchasable programs that will scan and remove spyware
infections. Many of the new versions of spyware tools also offer “always on” protection that blocks spyware from downloading while you surf the internet.
