Spyware Information

Spyware refers to software that is installed on your personal computer without your knowledge. It tracks personal or sensitive information, then sends the information to advertisers. This will increase pop-up advertisements (called adware). Many popular anti-virus software programs also contain anti-spyware software and give the ability to block spyware. Brazos recommends that its customers install reputable antivirus and anti-spyware software, update it regularly and use it regularly to run scans of their systems, and to regularly back-up their systems. Beware of pop-ups on your screen which warn you of possible problems and offer you a free scan and then sell you software to cure what may be a non-existent program. This is a common scam.
