"Spyware infects 9 out of 10 PCs connected to the Internet

and has eclipsed viruses as the #1 threat to online privacy."

Spyware is everywhere

• It infects 9 out of 10 Internet-connected computers.

• Adware and spyware programs, also called malware or trackware, quietly and secretly monitor everything you do online, and can communicate your activities to a third party such as an online advertiser.

• Many spyware programs ensure their survival by sprinkling hidden traces of the program throughout your system to make full removal more difficult (and sometimes nearly impossible).

• Anti-virus software and firewalls fail to protect and are not capable of stopping spyware.
