Spyware is like the new technological nuclear weapon on the internet. Spyware can not only damage the health of your computer but it can also steal your personal identity other personal information. Spyware is software that is hidden inside legitimate downloads that you come across on the internet. An example would be the growing number of file sharing programs and free mobile ring tone advertisements that you come across on the internet. If you have teenagers in your household, it's imperative that they know the dangers of using these programs as what takes 2 minutes to download and listen to, can take a good few hours to remove the damage left behind after being infected with spyware.

This low down trickery allows the spyware publisher into your computer. Once the spyware has installed itself on your machine it can reap havoc in many different ways. Spyware can cause your computer to crash and attack other programs on your computer similar to the way a virus does. Spyware's most common task is to record and report back you internet surfing habits, like what sites you visit, how long you spend on the sites, what you download etc. One of the most frightening aspects is that spyware can actually record what information you type into your internet browser, this includes your credit card details, user names and passwords. Having access to this information allows the spyware publisher to commit identity theft pretty easily.
