March 2, 2007, Newsletter Issue #105: Adware and Spyware

Tip of the Week

Adware is similar to spyware. Adware offers varying degrees of annoyance. Some adware merely delivers a small ad banner in a program´s interface, such as the ad displayed in ICQ. Other types of adware launch pop-up browser windows over pages you´re currently viewing. The worst kind of spyware gathers personal data about you and sends it to a central server. You can prevent this with a good spyware blocker and personal firewall software.
