As you surf the World Wide Web, many times you encounter offers that seem to be harmless. Programs, screensavers, backgrounds and a multitude of other computer related items are available to download from the Internet for "Free". Are they really free? May be free of cost but if people took the time to read the licensing agreement (EULA), they would find that the offer is not free of strings. Of course, not all authors of spyware include the information in their EULA that even warns the user of the additional programs that come with the "free" download. The purpose of this paper is to allow you to protect yourself and your computer from spyware.
