The Dangerous InternetWhenever you download a program/file from the Internet or click on a pop-up ad, you are making yourself a prey to a malicious program which can even steal your web identity. Spyware and adware programs are not choosy. They can affect anyone’s computer. They invade your privacy, spoil the functionality of your computer, and slow down your system. Every single piece of information that you enter on the Internet can be caught by an unauthorized person or entity. It can even allow unauthorized websites to creep into your system. Every step you take on the Web can be tracked and watched by someone else without your prior permission. Then, the data obtained about you can be sold without your consent or your knowledge. Each and every day, hundreds of thousands of Internet users are infected with a Spyware or adware program.

I am looking out for ways to protect my system against these malicious matter…

    The windows pop-up are small windows that if open automatically in the monitor. Many times, present announcements advertising executives who can be of legitimate companies, but can also be projects of fraud or dangerous software:
    • The announcements pop-up can be part of a project of phishing conceived to deceive it, taking to it to disclose it important personal or financial information while it sails in the Web.
    • If the announcements pop-up will open when it is not to sail in the Web, its computer could be infectado with spyware.
    • Nor all the windows pop-up are bad: some sites of the Web use windows pop-up for specific tasks. It can need to visualize the window to complete definitive task.

    To protect ourselves from spyware or Anwar, we must focus on the open web pages, the sites that open, because behind these sites may be people or so-called “thieves” trying to roubarnos, provided money to identity. Hence, we must take into consideration that the site opened, when it comes to download a program / file sent in the mail or downloaded via Web should keep in mind:
    - If the program shows that it is known or unknown;
    - The advertisements should always read the rules;
    - Make a good choice for antivirus.
    - Etc. ..

    To be selective with what it installs in the computer. Not to click only in these buttons ” Yes, I accept” when to install one freeware.
    To have care with programs that show advertisements in the interface of the user.
    If it will be to see advertisements in the interphase of the user of the program, probably this to look at for one spyware/adware. To only use trustworthy sites of download. Nowadays, some of them indicate which of the offered products freeware possess a component spyware.
