    Why does Spyware and Adware affect every internet user

    All information you enter via the web can be intercepted
    Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your desktop (icons)
    Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your internet favorites
    Your browsing activity can be tracked and monitored
    Unwanted toolbars and searchbars can attach themselves to your browser
    without your knowledge or approval
    Your personal information can be sold to other parties without your
    knowledge or consent
    Your default homepage and settings can be hijacked so you can't change
    them
    These malicious components not only invade your PC so they can not be
    removed, but take up your hard drive space and slow down your PC!

    hharycsuvvcc@yahoo.com discovered Google Groups from China and spammed
    his brand new blog thusly:

    > All information you enter via the web can be intercepted


    ...only if you don't take appropriate steps.

    > Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your desktop (icons)


    ...only if you use an insecure browser.

    > Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your internet favorites


    ...only if you use an insecure browser.

    > Your browsing activity can be tracked and monitored


    ...by whom? Your ISP needs to know where you want to surf, otherwise it
    could not deliver you the content you seek.

    > without your knowledge or approval


    ...only if you use an insecure browser.

    ...only if you voluntarily give it to them.

    ...only if you use an insecure browser and allow it to happen.

    I'd reply to your blog, but you want personal information to be entered.
    Would you then sell it to someone else?

    sheryl leslie,

    If fact, it only takes a good browser properly set up, and a modicum
    of knowledge about what you are doing.

    Don't use google groups - use a real newsreader and use your ISP's
    access to Usenet. Or just pay an extra $5 a month and get a premium
    news server.

    Use Mozilla with script blocker, cookie manager and adblocker and
    you're halfway there.

    Create a fictitious profile and use a web-based email account - avoid
    giving out your real information. Block cookies and script for
    Google, stay away from MS and Google toolbars and browser enhancer's

    Get an ISP you can trust

    Read up about how to prevent the stuff and then exorcise your system
    with adaware and spybot search and destroy. Don't trust other
    programs that promise to rid your system of spyware until you've
    vetted them. You will probably still need help to get rid of some of
    the more insidious malware - but this newsgroup is a good place to
    start.
