Spyware Detection and Removal

Spyware detection and removal techniques involve technology that detects and removes programs attempting to covertly gather and transmit confidential user information without his or her knowledge or permission. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs or attached to malicious websites. Once installed, spyware can monitor user activity, gather information about e-mail addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers in the background, then transmit this information to someone else. Spyware can include Remote Access Trojans (RAT) and root kits.
