Re: Spyware

Spyware is a broad category of malicious software intended to intercept or take partial control of a computer's operation without the user's informed consent. While the term taken literally suggests software that surreptitiously monitors the user, it has come to refer more broadly to software that subverts the computer's operation for the benefit of a third party. Spyware differs from viruses and worms in that it does not usually self-replicate.

More Info

You can use AdAware and SpyBot SnD to scan your PC to make sure that there are no spywares. Also, update your AntiVirus software, and perform a system scan.
