guests, are some of the fastest growing threats on the
Internet today. It is important to protect your computer

A spyware program will record every keystroke and e-mail as
well as every web page you visit and every chat session.

pose as legitimate programs and persuade you to download
them.

user's computer may be put on the Internet before he can
realize that he is a victim of these malicious programs.

software from websites for supporting legitimate services

run on your computer. It can also protect your computer
