Hi,
Can anyone help me out here in understanding if a cookie is the same as spyware?
From what I here, you now need to have spyware software installed on PCs for the following reasons:
1. Protect your privacy
2. Elivate junk off PCs to get better performance.
3. Elimate protential virus problems.
No longer can you just delete cookies and assume that you are safe from lurking eyes of others who choose to follow your every move and collect information on you.
At one time I thought all that was needed was good AV and Firewall software. In addition to AV & Firewalls, is it a good idea to now install Spyware software as another security layer?
Can you give me some advice on this and how all this software either replaces old technologies or builds on a new layer needed to protect systems from the perils of the internet.
Thanks for the lesson.
