What is Spyware?

Spyware is a somewhat generic term for software that installs itself on your computer with little or no knowledge to the user with the purpose of collecting marketing data.

Is Spyware legal?
Unfortunately it is!!
Most spyware infections come from shareware and freeware version of some of the most popular titles on today's market.

This is then forwarded to advertisers who target you with adverts specifically aimed at the preferences you have revealed. The bad news is there are no laws against this type of advertising as of yet.
