Spyware Lurks: Be Aware Of Bonus Software
People buying packaged software should be aware, that may be
getting more than they were hoping for, from the software being
purchased. The added piece of bonus software bundled with their
purchase may contain spyware. People get attracted by the bonus
attached to software, which appears as getting more for the
money, but in the case of a software purchase, does anyone want
spyware, as a bonus? Of course, if people knew that the bonus
included spyware, they would not want that bonus. However, it is
almost impossible for a software buyer to know, if the bonus
software contains spyware, which usually shows up only after it
has been installed into a computer.
The installation of spyware into a computer may be part and
parcel of the software received with the purchase. Spyware will
monitor, all of the surfing activity, of the person using the
computer, on which it has been installed. The monitored
information is then transmitted via the internet, to the company
that developed the software. The collected data is vital
information, much needed and used by marketing companies or by
marketing departments. Personal information is stored in
databases and is often sold to third parties. The new software
may infect the computer with dangerous spyware, which appeared
as a useful bonus to the buyer. The bonus software packaged with
the main program is known
as software bundling.
Spyware makes use of a unique tracking number that is also
unique to the particular computer and its user when installed.
After installation of the software, it beings to transmit the
users surfing activities. The information collected may include
sites visited, product searches made or information sought by
the user.
Spyware poses a great risk to computer users and can lead to
identity theft, being bombarded by advertisements, a sluggish
computer and even to financial losses, if personal information
gets into the wrong hands.
Software buyers must read and understand all of the features of
the software and pay particular attention to any free bonus
software that may be packaged with the main software program
being purchased. It is important to note that not all bonus
software includes spyware.
It is recommended that a computer user have a program installed
that can detect and remove spyware. A spyware scanner will show
if any spyware exists in a computer and spyware if any, can then
be removed. A free spyware scanner is available at
