Spyware Can Destroy
Spyware and adware are two different animals. Each has the ability to make your life a mess.
If you rely on the internet for anything or you rely on your computer for anything, it is a must that you fully understand what these things are and how they work.
The first key to protecting yourself from these things is to fully understand what they are. That will allow you to know how to not make common mistakes that cause spyware to get into your
computer.
Unfortunately, many people have been lead to believe that all types of this software are bad and
should be avoided. But, that’s not always the case. The fact is you may want to have certain
types of this software to use.
Remember, to make it spyware it has to be downloaded to your computer without your consent.
Why would you want to have spyware that tracks your personal information? Why would you
want those advertisements? You may actually sign up for a service online and when you do
you may also agree to receive targeted ads.
Companies like this find it helpful to track where you go online and what you do in order to
provide you with ads that are targeted to your interests. Instead of seeing ads that don’t have
anything to do with you, you’ll see ads that are based on the places you’ve visited online.

Is Adware/Spyware Legal
A common question that is asked is whether spyware and adware is actually legal. The fact is
that in most cases the answer is, no, its not. But, that doesn’t always stop all crime.
What is illegal is being able to get into anyone’s computer without their authorization for any
reason. In the United States, the law that covers this is the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
Since part of the definition of spyware and adware is that the process itself requires that a user download the program without the knowledge and/or consent of the user then it is quite illegal in itself. It is a tricky law, though, that is very open to consideration.
It is so difficult to prosecute those that make and distribute spyware and adware that it is, in fact, something rarely done. In some cases, many of these companies operate as standard
businesses. It’s not a hidden trade in any way, in many situations.
Why is it so difficult? One of the reasons this is the case is the fact that they have to prove that you didn’t want to download the software in the first place.
Let’s say that you were using shareware and the process included spyware. Some spyware
providers claim that you signed up for the spyware as part of the bundle of applications.
Another consideration is just how you give your consent. Be honest, how many times have you
read through those long, “Read me” agreements before purchasing or downloading some type
of software?
If you don’t read the End User License Agreement, as they are called, and click “yes, you agree”
and continue, guess who’s legally responsible for whatever happens?
To make this even worse, many of the spyware and adware companies will make these
agreements excessively long and difficult to read and understand. You get frustrated and just
hit that button.

Of course, in most cases of spyware and adware, there is no agreement to sign anyway. The
fact is that many of these are drive by downloads that you’ll never know the program is there. In this case, there is no contract at all and therefore nothing to hold you to them.
The good news is that throughout the United States and in countries such as Australia, there is
much law making happening to provide some protection from spyware and adware to the public.
In Iowa and Washington, within the United States, there have been laws passed that offer some
protection. In these laws, specific types of spyware are targeted and made to be criminalizing
acts.

How Does Adware/Spyware Spread?
One of the most important things for you to understand is just how spyware spreads. How does
it get from its source to your computer?
By understanding this fact, you’ll know how to better protect yourself from future invasion.
It’s Not A Virus
One thing to know is that spyware and adware are not viruses and don’t spread in the same
way as a virus would. With a virus, the infected computer system is used to spread the virus
from one system to the next. It is actively looking for the next victim. Spyware gets into your
system by deception. In most cases, you download it to your computer.
You’ve Installed It
Most commonly, spyware enters the computer when the computer user installs it. Of course,
you wouldn’t know that you are doing that. What happens is quite a bit more worrisome.
You visit a website and find a piece of software that you would like to have. You download it.
Little did you know that the software that you just downloaded had spyware piggybacked onto it
and now you’ve got both the desirable software and the spyware lurking on your computer. You
may not even know it’s there for months!
Or, you may have the spyware trick you into downloading it. In this case, you may be asked to
perform an operation that is “required” to complete the download. When you do, you are
actually downloading the spyware or adware onto your computer.

How To Remove Adware/Spyware?
There are several ways to remove spyware from your computer. If you have knowledge of
viruses, then you can easily understand most of these methods and how they are potentially
beneficial to you.
Spyware can be detected in many of the same ways as a virus can. A scan of your computer
can relieve many types of spyware and adware and help you to safely remove them from your
computer.
The worst case scenario for the computer user that has a large amount of spyware and adware
on their computer is to have to have their computer’s system reinstalled. In this case, it will take professional help, in many cases, to back up the data on the computer and then to fully reinstall the operating system for the unit.
But, that’s not the normal case and it’s not the first step for you to take, either. There are
several other things that you should do first. There is much help out there but it takes a bit more help and knowledge to get you to the point of knowing what program is a potential benefit and
which is likely not to be.
It’s Gotten Bad
It’s important to realize that spyware is no longer something that happens to the other guy. You
have to consider this a strong risk as you would a virus. You don’t have to make a mistake in
downloading it to your computer to be a victim to it. It can just happen.
In that, there are countless products on the market that claim to be able to provide you with the very best resource for removing spyware and adware from your computer. Some are very
much capable while others can even be spyware programs lurking themselves.
