Everyone is susceptible to Spyware /
Adware but the most common way computers get infected is by
the install shareware or freeware applications. Some
software developers use Aware / Spyware programs to help pay
for their software, rather then asking the internet user for
software license fees or to make their software price more
attractive. Perfect example of this would be the free
versions Kazaa or Divx software. If you have every installed
their software, the software license agreement states that
the software install is also going to install Advertising
monitoring or targeted advertising on your computer.
Many people are
completely unaware that a program they are installing is
going to install adware or spyware, simple because the
software developers know that know one every reads the
software agreements. |
