Have you heard of Spyware, malware or Adware?

Spyware is like an intruder who came into your house when you just opend a door.
It observes your behavior like which TV program at what time you are watching,
what time you go to bed, etc. Also, it reads your credit card number or any other
private infomation. Then, it sends those information to its master. Another thing
it does is that it puts a poster or advertisements in your house, and it appears every
time you take them off relentlessly.

This is a problem for everybody using the Internet since it comes into your PC without
knowing when you are downloading something.

What I suggest is eliminate the most of the spywares out of your PC through Anti-spyware
application to protect your private info.

For a more comprehensive look at spyware or other evil things lurking on the computer, you can get a fairly good understanding on it and how to get rid/prevent it on this site:
Network Security

you may have to register to get on the forums, but the info is well worth it :)
 
Programs such as Nortan Firewall, Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.3, NoAsware, and LavaSoft's Ad-Aware are great for finding such programs and removing them from your computer. Because I'm paranoid, I use all of these programs and not juts one to make sure that all spyware and adware are removed and prevented from being installed. A site I find useful is ttp://www.pchell.com/support/spyware.shtml
