Spyware makes your computer slow by attaching itself to your operating system. Spyware tracks your habits in order to give you a lot of sales offers and make traffic for their website. More than 80% of computers are infected. You can get spyware when you click on a button on a pop up window, install a package, or end a vulnerability. People can get them from peer to peer file sharing programs and drive by downloads. Some spyware masquerades as programs that help take out spyware. Spyware hogs up RAM and runs in your background. You can protect against spyware by using a spyware scanner, a pop up blocker, disable active x, be suspicious about new things that you are installing and use the “x” to close windows.
