The Internet is a wonderful tool, espeically for researching information. The most popular way to search it is to use Yahoo, MSN, Google and other major website search engines for anything you are looking for... As far as spyware is concerned, it is one of those things that comes with the territory but it can be eliminated with the free anti spyware tools that you can also find by searching. \nSource(s):\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaw...

well  i ordered my internet provider through an ad that appeared on yahoo's home page for my local telephone company.  i know why you're asking this...i felt a wee bit uncomfortable in doing it.  just everything you hear about security, credit card numbers, etc.\n\na pop up i would treat as a telemarketer.  would i feel comfortable giving my billing info to someone who called me on the phone and could be from anywhere?  ummm. no.\n\nfreespirit, if you're getting a steady stream of popups, i'd venture a guess that you have a serious problem with spyware.  check some of the sites that exist for advice there.\n\nok- duh!- now i see your previous questions and i guess i feel a little bit foolish...retracing my steps... GOOD CALL, free spirit, yep it's spyware, good luck with that problem. it's hard to eliminate. so far i've been cautious, and very very lucky...

This is a good thing!  It looks like you had spyware at one point but don't any more.

Be careful if are thinking about downloading smileys of any kind, Cuz' yes it will cost you.... dearly! These programs are embedded with spyware, malware, and pop-ups (all of which are gateways to the even more destructive VIRUS)

usualy these kind of sites are loaded with x-rated advertising, spyware and key loggers.\n\nif you need to go there for a serial or crack then i suggest doing it from home (not work) and make sure you have a fire wall, pop-up blocker and the latest anti-virus definitions updated first!

Okay I checked the.com and its a search engine. You are better off without visiting it. It looks like those sites who install spyware on your system.

It's only bad when you post things that hackers can see or get to. But if you are not doing inappropiate things, than it should be ok. But I'm not saying that you shouldn't still look out for these things. Also, make sure you're not talking to grown men on there.

beware, most of these sites hijack you and enter your computer's setup and then u'll be fucked up in the real sense of it, anyway, u'll be dealing with spy cookies from that time onwards.  if that's what u want, then u'll get it free............. enzoy.......

Sure, use a cloaking program.  I live in China and purchased Anonymous Browser online, works perfect and I can view any website.

Obviously it is, but there's nothing anyone's going to do to stop it.  Watch the Terminator movies, especially the third.  The internet is going to turn into Skynet thanks to technology like this.

Someone would be very dumb to admit to something like that on here. It is an illegal activity, as you know. Even though we are "anonymous" on here, we must all remember that people are "watching" and they have the resources to determine who is who on here. Just be careful.

If you don't know what it is, don't click on it. Show it to an expert you know. This is the dangerous world we live in. It could be a spyware or even worse -- keyboard logger.

No, they tread a fine line. You technically agree to everything when you download. IT's a bit sleazy.\n\nBut they don't monitor what you do, or take your personal info, so it's not spyware. Just ANNOYWARE.
