What is spyware?
Spyware are programs that collect your personal information.
Spyware may collect personal information including:

• Internet sites you have browsed,
• e-mail addresses from your computer,
• passwords, or
• credit card numbers.

Spyware almost always installs itself without your explicit permission. Spyware may get installed:

• by tricking you into clicking an option in a misleading pop-up window, or
• together with a useful program.
