Anti-spyware

Protect yourself from prying eyes

Spyware are harmful programmes that monitor computer activity. They can be installed from infected websites or storage devices connected to the computer. The user may not even know that they are infected.

What are the implications?

Spyware is designed to invade your privacy, gathering information about your computer and internet activity. Spyware can also be responsible for irritating pop-up adverts, slowing down your computer, and sending confidential information to fraudsters.

What can I do?

The most effective protection is to keep your computer’s security up-to-date. Many anti-virus packages now come with built-in protection against spyware, so make sure you always have the latest version.
