Spyware - What is it and how does it get on your computer?

"Spyware" is such an interesting term. I wonder what it makes you think of? James Bond perhaps, something "Q" would dream up maybe? The reality is much less glamorous than something Q would suggest 007 has in his wardrobe.

So what is it?

Spyware is a generic term to describe software that is installed on your computer without your full knowledge, consent and understanding, and that really serves the interests of commercial or criminal parties rather than yours.

The term "Spyware" is actually a catch-all type of term. The name suggests that it is software which spies. This is true for some spyware but not all. Some people have suggested we use other terms such as "junkware", "malware", "adware" or even "crapware". However the name Spyware has stuck so we should stick with it too.
The behavior of spyware varies, but the following are the main types of activities:

* Causing unsolicited pop-up windows to appear (which may sound innocent but is very annoying and if it causes 50 or more to appear in a few seconds then it will stop you doing anything else)

* Monitoring your web browsing activity to allow marketing organisations to better work out what adverts to display in subsequent web pages

* Re-routing the URL you typed or clicked on to another site or an intermediate site to deceive you

* Stealing personal information such as bank account numbers, passwords etc.

I think it's horrible and hate it with a passion!

How does it get onto my computer?

Spyware can be installed on your computer in a number of ways, but all of them involve surfing the net, perhaps agreeing to download one item of software not realizing that the download included other less desirable items. Some spyware simply installs itself using some "open doors" on your browser.

Often you agree to install it

Note in most cases there will be an end-user agreement which you will have clicked or agreed to at some point which allows the organizations behind some of this software to gather your information or monitor what you're doing. It may even contain clauses which say you may not un-install the software except via the official uninstaller (which is not provided)!

As an example, here is a partial extract from one license agreement on the free trial download of some software:

BANNERS: This software will download product banners and/or similar marketing devices from our servers and display them within the software GUI. A message will be sent to our servers indicating that a banner or similar marketing device has been served. No personal information will be communicated to <organization>. or its affiliates during this process.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION: Components bundled with our software may report to Licensor and/or its affiliates the installation status of certain marketing offers, such as toolbars, and also generalized installation information, such as language preference and operating system version, to assist Licensor in its product development. No personal information will be communicated to <organization>. or its affiliates during this process. Licensor may in the future offer additional components (such as a toolbar) through our version checking/update system.

Now it's your choice, but the license agreement is clear - if only you'd read it!

Some companies behind such software have started taking legal action against the makers of anti-spyware software which labels their software as spyware and uninstalls it. This is a tricky area; hopefully the courts will eventually make some rulings which can be used against this type of activity.

Drive-By Downloads

A Drive-By Download is where a dialog box of some sort is popped to your screen when you visit a web site or as you try to leave it. Be very wary of any box like this.

Many are innocent enough - just asking for a name and email address in return for a free report or such like - these are what they appear to be and you should just decide whether you want the free report or not. If not, close the window using the "X" or other mechanism provided.

Others though require more careful handing. Sometimes these boxes are offering to provide some service such as syncing your PC time, installing some software to protect your computer (!) or fix some problem which has supposedly been detected. Sometimes they can be menacing - click this or else... Now you must be on your guard. If there is an "X" available on the top right of the dialog box use that to close it. If it doesn't go away or if that option isn't available, read the dialog carefully. Typically you must select "Yes" or "No" but it will not be immediately obvious which is the correct choice not to install whatever it is being offered - they are trying to trick you into agreeing by mistake.

So how can I protect my computer against spyware?

Three things to do:

* Have your configuration set so that your computer tends to resist spyware

* Inoculate your computer by installing spyware resisting software

* Regularly scan you computer with Anti-Spyware software

Computer Certification: Become A Utility Player

In baseball, a "utility player" is one who plays more than one position. These players are usually backups, but they have a job in the major leagues because of their value to the team; since they can play more than one position, they have that much more value to their employer.

Too often in IT, workers become either LAN or WAN engineers, knowing little if anything about the other side. Many LAN administrators I worked with knew little about routing and switching, while many WAN engineers I knew not only didn't know much about the LAN side of their network, but they didn't want to know anything about the servers!

In today's IT world, it's a bad idea to specialize in only one thing and not know how to do anything else. Not only does it limit your future career prospects, but it limits your current prospects as well. Employers don't want to hire someone and have them get up to speed on the job - they want someone who can walk right in and do the job. The more you know, the better your chance of getting a better job - or quickly being able to get another job if you were laid off tomorrow.

A term often heard on Wall Street is "diversification", meaning that investors should not invest heavily or totally in only one stock; if that stock plummets, they're in big trouble. Your career is the most important stock you will ever own, and you're 100% in charge of it. Diversify. If you're working primarily with servers, learn some routing and switching. If you know the routing protocols your company uses on its WAN, learn something about that protocol. (If you don't know the protocol, ask!)

While you're adding these skills, get certified while you're at it! Adding a CCNA, MCSE, or other computer certification looks great on your resume while signaling to employers that you're constantly adding to your skills.

Adding more skills and knowledge to your IT skill set is always a good idea. Don't limit yourself to the technologies you work with every day. Make an investment in yourself and become a well-rounded network engineer. This will help you keep the job you have - and open doors in the future that might otherwise have remained closed.

Help! Pornography Keeps Mysteriously Appearing on My Computer

More than one user has complained about finding unwanted material on their computer. If you are the only person who uses your computer and you know that you haven't visited pornographic content websites, it can be very disheartening to find pornography on your computer.

The Internet is filled with information and just about anything you could want to buy or sell is available at your fingertips. Unfortunately, what you may not be interested in buying or selling might be being pushed in your direction because of Spyware. Spyware can be discreetly hidden in your computer files and could arrive by any number of methods not limited to the following:
-Email attachments that appear harmless
-Toolbars that you've downloaded to help you be more productive
-Java files for chat or file sharing
-Downloaded music, video or movie files
-Freeware programs for entertainment or productivity

And more.

If your browser's home page has been taken over by banner ads or pop-up advertisements, if your computer seems to be running much more slowly than usual or if you're receiving warning messages or annoying pop-ups you have probably contracted Spyware, Adware or malicious software (also known as malware, fakeware or badware) from somewhere. Running antivirus programs probably won't catch and destroy these programs for you and won't protect you against future Spyware or Adware worms.

The unfortunate truth is that up to ninety per cent of all Internet users have or have had Spyware on their computer at one time or another. Spyware can not only fill your monitor with annoying or distasteful images, but it can spy on your every move and report your personal surfing habits to outside parties who could be using this information to try to sell something to you or to try to steal from you in the form of taking your information and stealing your passwords, pin numbers and log in credentials to do damaging things.

Spyware can be combated. You can install a program to scan your computer for these malicious and intrusive programs. Spyblaster cannot only erase the existing spyware but can also protect your computer against future threats. Not all software programs are created equal. Watch out for fakeware disguising itself as freeware designed to help spyware problems. Ensure that your fight to rid your computer of harmful packages designed to spy on you or fill your monitor with filthy and offensive images isn't simply going to result in more problems for you. Use a reputable tool that will be accountable for its actions.

Hackers Given Access to IRS Computers?

The Treasury Department inspector general has reported a distinct weakness in the security surrounding the IRS computer systems. Unlike the problems found with other security systems, this one is human.

The Treasury Department inspector general conducted a study to see if IRS employees could be manipulated into providing information that would compromise computer security. Treasury Department inspectors called IRS agents and managers posing as computer technicians. The inspectors told the employees that they were trying to fix problems with the computer network platform. They then asked the employess to provide the login and passwords for their administrative accounts. More than one-third of the agents provided the information and even allowed the inspectors to change the passwords.

The IRS has rules in place that prohibit employees from divulging passwords. Despite these rules, employees gave several reasons for providing the information. Some said they were not suspicious of foul play while others wanted to be helpful to the technicians. Some employees were suspicious, but were given permission to provide the information by the managers in their departments.

The taxpayer database maintained by the IRS contains incredibly valuable information. The hacks of Choicepoint and LexisNexus pail in comparison to a hack of the IRS database. Imagine a hacker getting access to the tax identification numbers of every person and business in the United States. Making matters worse, the database also contains the name and number of every account kicking out interest and dividends for each taxpayer including bank accounts and investment accounts. The exposure of such information would be a windfall for identity theft scams.

The IRS has responded to the study by sending an email to all employees alerting them of the rules regarding divulging information. You have to wonder how long the employees will keep it in mind.
