| Abstract: | How does this stuff get onto your machine? Most often, it hides behind other software as you download it. If you're a heavy user of post-- Napster file-sharing programs like Morpheus or Kazaa, both known distributors of spyware, you're probably already infected. Sometimes spyware masquerades as cookies, those little files websites leave on your computer so you don't have to type your name and password every time you visit. |
