The term 'Spyware' can be broken down into several component types of parasitic software. These are programs that track your surfing habits and relay them to advertising companies, tailor clusters of pop-up ads to suit your web wanderings, even take over your web browser entirely. A spyware infestation can make using your PC on the Internet an exercise in frustration.
Fortunately, it is possible to keep a clean system with a few effective and simple precautions. But if you are going to do it, do it soon, because chances are you have already played host to one or more of these pests.
