WHAT IS SPYWARE ?

Spyware is a small program that installs itself without user knowledge or permission.
Spyware can be installed from software or a web page.

A spyware program can:
- display advertising pop ups when you are browsing the internet
- collect data on your computer and your browsing habits
- add unwanted toolbars or buttons to Internet Explorer
- slow down your computer

Spyware programs are not viruses and are not detected by classic anti-virus scanners.
In order to protect your system against spyware, you should install a spyware scanner.

We advise you to install a real-time spyware shield such as VirusKeeper.
VirusKeeper detects spyware attempts to install itself on your computer and alerts the user.
