Scary! collects informationfrom you on a range of areas, from all the Web sites you visit,to more sensitive information like user names and passwords andeven banking details.

Be aware, some may run unnoticed without any outwardsigns of infection. Do not be fooled. It could still mean youhave a major problem! How does get onto your PC if youdon't knowingly download it? Many PC user's ask this question.The answer is that if you or your teenage children downloadmusic from file-sharing programs, free games from certain sites,ring tones or other software programs from unknown sources -youcan easily become infected with Spyware! Spyware uses security holes in the Windows Operating System, andmany people are very surprised to hear that infection can occurwithout any actual conscious actions of your own. Do not confuseSpyware with virus's. Even if you have a virus checker this willnot stop Spyware. It is a totally different threat. It isannoying. All you probably want to do is surf the Internet assimply as possible. The proliferation of threatening attacks toyour system make this more and more difficult, unless you havethe right set of tools in place to protect yourself. How Do You Protect Yourself? The best way to check for infection is to scan your machine withan effective program capable of protecting you. One thing youshould be very aware of, are the 'free' programs offering tosolve such a problem. Unless they are recommended by aprofessional source, you should steer clear of such programs. Ithas been
found that many 'free' programs simply add to yourproblems, by adding more or other malicious programs toyour computer. Recommended solutions? There are a few legitimate programs whichactually do what they say they will do. 'Counterspy' is such aprogram. 'CounterSpy' uses extensive signaturedatabases, real- time security agents, and ThreatNet to protectyour machine from many types of Spyware, adware, browserhijackers, search hijackers, keyloggers, ghost spammers, and spysoftware. If you do not want to be targeted with offers of goodsyou don't want and you want to feel secure, knowing yourpersonal information is safe - then CounterSpy is the programyou are looking for. One great benefit of CounterSpy is the real-time agents thatmonitor your computer 24/7, securing certain key areas.Malicious authors are dubious and crafty. WithCounterSpy you stack the odds in your favour and dramaticallyreduce the odds of installing on your machine. There are no know issues with CounterSpy running with otherprograms, so you should find it blends in nicely with anyexisting programs you are running. I work in the PC maintenanceand repair field and have found the program works as it says. Agood number of other satisfied users that I have referred alsorate this program. The program has a 15 day free trial and a 30 Day Guarantee toensure you are satisfied with the program. Its excellent valuefor money at $19 (or approximately £10 ) for one full year,including updates. The price in year 2 is roughly half theoriginal price - so it really is a good deal. I believe that £10 spent on prevention, is far better thanpaying out £100 later, if you acquire a real bad problem thisprogram could have prevented. Referring back to the guarantee, if you are not satisfied, yourmoney is refunded in full. (Guarantee is provided by the makersof the software). A very good guarantee from an establishedcompany, with a quality product. I use the product myself daily.My opinion is that it will help in your fight to keep yourcomputer running in top condition and more importantly, keepingyour personal information more secure.
