Winning the war against spyware

Spyware has evolved into the cyber era as the most dangerous, damaging and menacing technological appliance in current history. It is no aggravation of statement that if you are linked to the Internet, there’s every chance of being affected by this nuisance. So, it is in good time we should possess a peripheral view about spyware.

It was on 16th October 1996, when the word “spyware” was used in the public for the first time. Surprisingly (or maybe not), it was a term aimed at the business strategies of the global leader Microsoft.

Since then, we’ve all had to alter our browsing habits to avoid the glut of malicious software on the Internet. Tune in this week as Ken, Brandon, and Chad share some strategies for minimizing spyware on your computers.
