Default 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!
