Internet Privacy

The internet has become more and more popular over the years and privacy has always been the issue of endless debates and has become a major dilemma.
Who would want to feel being spied on?

Spywares are programs that are picked up just by simply surfing a website or downloading a file. Spywares can pickup information of your credit cards which are then sold.
Many developers have continually created software that will counter the Spyware and rid of it, but just as smart these people are, so are the hackers.

Cookies may sound like yummy, but online, cookies can be the nemesis. Cookies are initially created as tools to allow websites to recognize you when you view their pages again.
But unscrupulous webmasters collect data from you and sell them to interested parties. Cookies can steal your identity. How yummy? It is important to protect yourself online.

A few things to note:

Get a decent Anti-Spyware software available online.
Keep your Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus software up to date.
Regularly run your Anti-Spyware and Anti-virus programs to track down spywares lurking behind your machine.
