Spyware / Adware
Hamilton’s Recommended Programs
Unfortunately the dangers of internet use extend beyond getting a computer virus, there are also companion programs which can do just as much damage. These are called spyware, adware, malware and internet hijackers. These malicious programs can cause a multitude of problems on a computer, including changed settings, slower internet, or total disruption of service.
