Spyware is the general term used to describe software that performs certain behaviours such as advertising, collecting personal
information, or changing the configuration of your computer, generally without appropriately obtaining your consent first.
Spyware is often associated with software that displays advertisements (called adware) or software that tracks personal or sensitive
information. This does not mean all software that provides ads or tracks your online activities is bad. For example, you might sign up for
a free music service, but you“pay” for the service by agreeing to receive targeted ads. If you understand the terms and agree to them, you
may have decided that its a fair tradeoff. You might also agree to let the company track your online activities to determine which ads to
show you.
Other kinds of spyware make changes to your computer that can be annoying and can cause your computer to slowdown or crash.
These programs can change your web browsers home page or search page, or add additional components to your browser you don’t
need or want. These programs also make it very difficult for you to change your settings back to the way you originally had them.
The key in all cases is whether or not you (or someone who uses your computer) understand what the software will do and have agreed
to install the software on your computer.
There are a number of ways spyware or other unwanted software can get on your computer. A common trick is to covertly install the
software during the Installation of other software you want, such as a music or file sharing program.
Whenever you install something on your computer, make sure you carefully read all disclosures, including license agreements and
privacy statements. Sometimes the inclusion of unwanted software in a given software installation is documented, but it might appear at the
end of license agreement or privacy statement.

Backing-up your system data is like exercising everyone knows they should do it, but only a small percent actually do. Hard drives are one
of the most delicate component of any computer. Every computer hard drive will eventually fail and they usually fail without warning. It's not a
question of "if" a hard drive will fail, it's a question of "when." While users can work to minimize the risk by protecting their computers from
power surges, viruses and environmental hazards, backups are the best and last defence against inevitable hardware failure.
The consequences of hard drive failure can be catastrophic. In an age where photos, videos, and audio recordings are increasingly saved
on the home computer, millions will lose irreplaceable memories such as wedding pictures or video of a child's birth simply because they
failed to back up. After spending days of effort and hundreds of pounds on building a digital music collection, consumers risk losing it all in
a heartbeat.
Attempting to recover a hard disk can be expensive, costing upwards of several hundred to a couple of thousand pounds per drive.
Recovery efforts following hard disk failure also do not guarantee successful data retrieval.
Find the right backup system: Files can easily be copied to an external storage device, commonly referred to as Network Attached Storage
or NAS, a USB memory device, or a CD-RW or DVD drive. Recordable CDs are the most cost effective and also provide an excellent
way to share your data with others

YES! On both counts, Computer viruses are software programs that are deliberately designed to interfere with computer operation,
record, corrupt or delete data, or spread themselves to other computers and throughout the Internet.
Anti-virus software is a computer program that is designed to detect, prevent and take action to disarm or remove malicious software programs, However no virus scanner is 100% effective and cannot keep up with the rapid change of viruses that happen daily. Be sure to update yours regularly as anti-virus software is only as effective as the most recent update. So, when you install your anti-virus software, go to the vendors web site and update the program and virus definitions immediately and then turn on the auto update feature (if it has one).
There is one simple, golden rule for anti-virus software. Never install two anti-virus products on the same computer. You will not get twice the protection and the chances are that your computer will simply freeze up and become inoperable.
A firewall is simply a program or hardware barrier between your computer or network and the Internet.It is there to make sure you are as safe as you can be from hackers and all the other nasty people and programs out there.
Basically, a firewall is a barrier to keep destructive forces away from your property. In fact, thats why its called a firewall. Its job is similar to a physical firewall that keeps a fire from spreading from one area to the next.
