SPYWARE. Look out.

[fett]

Have you guys been jumped by the pop-up that says you may infected by "SPYWARE"? It is a scam. Here's what happens. You cruise around, just like I just did on this forum, and a pop-up says you may have been infected.A "Spyware" solution is offered to solve this problem. It turns out that the people offering the solution are the ones that put it there in the first place.!!!!!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: SPYWARE. Look out.

It's a little bit more than that. I listen to PBS radio and they had a long story on this. This Spyware deal redirects your imput and supplies information to places you don't wouldn't believe. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Re: SPYWARE. Look out.

Some browsers like Mozilla or K-Meleon has a good pop up blocker..

Just delete your cookies and temporary internet files every night before you log off. Or get some kind of virus checker like McAfee and it will tell you if you have spyware cookies and will delete them.

Re: SPYWARE. Look out.

I use a program called Spyware Doctor, its like Norton Antivirus but for spyware. It runs in your taskbar and gives alerts (and blocks) when a site is trying to upload spyware to you. I think you have to pay for it, but as with all programs, you can get it for free off the net if you know where to look.
