Spyware
How Spyware Attacks
Spyware can be downloaded from Web sites, email messages, instant messages, and from direct file-sharing connections. Additionally, a user may unknowingly receive spyware by accepting an End User License Agreement from a software program.
How Do You Know You Need Antispyware
Spyware frequently attempts to remain unnoticed, either by actively hiding or by simply not making its presence on a system known to the user
What To Do: Anti-spyware Protection
Use Norton Internet Security to provide anti-spyware protection and proactively protect from other security risks
Configure the firewall in Norton Internet Security to block unsolicited requests for outbound communication
Do not accept or open suspicious error dialogs from within the browser
Spyware may come as part of a "free deal" offer - do not accept free deals
Always read carefully the End User License agreement at Install time and cancel if other “programs” are being installed as part of the desired program
Keep software and security patches up to date
How Do I Avoid Spyware?
Be selective about what you download to your computer
Read licensing agreements
Watch out for anti-spyware scams
Beware of clickable ads
Keep your Internet browser up to date
Scan your computer often

spyware
Spyware is any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet (where it is sometimes called a spybot or tracking software), spyware is programming that is put in someone's computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties. Spyware can get in a computer as a software virus or as the result of installing a new program.
Data collecting programs that are installed with the user's knowledge are not, properly speaking, spyware, if the user fully understands what data is being collected and with whom it is being shared. However, spyware is often installed without the user's consent, as a drive-by download, or as the result of clicking some option in a deceptive pop-up window. Software designed to serve advertising, known as adware, can usually be thought of as spyware as well because it almost invariably includes components for tracking and reporting user information. However, marketing firms object to having their products called "spyware." As a result, McAfee (the Internet security company) and others now refer to such applications as "potentially unwanted programs" (PUP).
The cookie is a well-known mechanism for storing information about an Internet user on their own computer. If a Web site stores information about you in a cookie that you don't know about, the cookie can be considered a form of spyware. Spyware is part of an overall public concern about privacy on the Internet.
Many Internet users were introduced to spyware in 1999, when a popular freeware game called "Elf Bowling" came bundled with tracking software.
