one threat to your computer with over 90% of computers already
infected. These include "Trojans" (or "Trojan Horses"),
Web Bugs, Monitoring Software and more. Fortunately

make. We've gone through dozens and come up with a short

Background - What is Spyware, Adware and Malware?
Spyware and Adware, also called "Malware", are files made by
publishers that allow them to snoop on your browsing activity,
see what you purchase and send you "pop-up" ads. They
can slow down your PC, cause it to crash, record your credit
card numbers and worse. If you're like most Internet
users, chances are you're probably infected with these files.
Simply surfing the Internet, reading email, downloading music
or other files can infect your PC without you knowing it.
