SPYWARE PROTECTION

Spyware is software installed on a computer usually without the user's knowledge or permission. Spyware, along with keyloggers and other malicious software, gathers information and sends it back to other interested parties. Spyware can collect and transmit information such as keystrokes, web surfing habits, passwords, email addresses, and other sensitive information you do not want to share outside your organization. Spyware also misuses system resources and bandwidth as it tracks and transmits information. Spyware poses grave security, confidentiality, and compliance risks which creates a need for spyware protection software.
