What is "spyware" ?
Spyware is any software which takes information from your system without your knowledge or consent. There are multiple types of spyware available including Trojans, Web Bugs, Advertiser software (adware), and Stand-Alone Commercial Computer Monitoring/Surveillance software.
Trojans are programs which are placed on your system by tricking you...so named because of the story of the Trojan Horse. This is a popular delivery method for viruses.
Web Bugs are ActiveX controls or cookies that track what you do online from web sites. The web site can then display targeted advertising banners and popups.
Advertiser software (adware) is software installed with certain ad-supported programs which tracks what you do online in order to send you targeted advertising in the form of popups and other often annoying methods.
Stand-Alone Commercial Computer Monitoring/Surveillance software is software sold for use by bosses, spouses, private investigators, identity thieves, X's and others for one purpose: to record everything you do on your computer...SILENTLY. These include URL recorders, keyloggers, chat monitors, screen recorders, program loggers and more! This is the type that SpyCop protects you from.
Do not confuse stand-alone computer monitoring spy software with remote administration products. Most remote administration products (PC Anywhere, etc) are not stealthy and can be stopped by the user on the host end. Remote Administration software can be easily stopped in their tracks by a simple firewall. SpyCop, however, does detect certain remote administration packages sold for spying purposes and that run in stealth mode. What types of computer
