Spyware
More and more spyware continues to be pervasive in the PC world. People often install games or other “FREE” programs which then also seceretly add software in the background of your computer to steal from you. The spyware will do anything from showing you ads to stealing your personal information and often they do both and several things in between. One particular method of this theft is called key logging.
Everything you type in your computer is transferred their computer automatically and then they have all of your credit cards, passwords, banks, 401Ks – anything you did online. This can include files, documents and other things that are on your hard drive.
So for those of you who have been to iFLOOR and notice another flooring website pop up your COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH SPYWARE. RED ALERT!
Anybody who would use such sinister tactics should be punished since only those who are not aware of what spyware is are the ones who get it on their computer. As usual criminals prey on those who are most vunerable.
