WHY YOU SHOULD CARE Spyware steals your personal information, such as credit card numbers, Social Security number, address. Spyware tracks your movements on the Internet. Spyware takes up valuable RAM memory, causing computer slowdown. Programs may not start normally or at all. Your computer may not start and shut down properly.

WHY YOU SHOULD CARE Spyware programs have the ability to monitor keystrokes, scan files on the hard drive, snoop other applications- -such as chat programs or word processors--install other spyware programs, read cookies, and change the default home page on the Web browser.keystrokes hard drivechatcookiesdefaulthome pageWeb browser
