AD-WARE, SPY-WARE, and Other Creepy Things

What are they? And what are they doing in my computer?

Ad-ware, Parasites, and Spyware are a family of small programs that are installed in your computer, (usually without your knowledge), during the installation of some shareware/freeware programs. Hundreds of useful programs, some of which you may have in your computer, carry an imbedded spyware program. Spyware allows advertising agencies to receive reports about where you are surfing and what web-ads you click on.

Most of these programs DON'T collect specific information about you, but only report general demographics, and therefore are NOT stealing your name, credit card, or other personal information.  However, sometimes they DO.

The Real Problem!

The real problem with these parasites, "spyware programs", is that many are poorly written, "contain bugs or errors", and can cause problems with the normal operation of your computer. If your web-browser experiences "General Protection Faults", hangs, or freezes it may be due to one or more of these little buggy parasites.
