We’ve all heard of spyware and yes, some of you are even afraid when the word is pronounced, but wait till you hear it all…

Spyware software is designed to do quite a few things, like:

But...most of the spyware software out there is not that deadly - all it does is monitor your browser activity! Some reports are sent back but the stuff sent back is not very specific so you’ll not loose your passwords or credit cards details, no real tag like ”John went to that particular site yesterday evening…” . Such detailed reports would be difficult to handle as the data would get really heavy and it would really slow your computer down.

The new version is even stronger than before and the big bugs will seek other computers to bite! We know a lot of antivirus software are claiming the 100% secure PC price but here at Bimos.be we put them all to the test.
