Spyware
Don't let fraudsters spy on your activities
This is software that secretly monitors activity on the infected machine and reports back to the fraudster. This could be a keystroke logger – designed to read the keystrokes you enter on your computer keyboard and capture passwords and other security information.
Spyware can get onto your systems through emails, infected websites, over your network or through a storage device attached to your computer.
Many anti-virus packages now come with built-in protection against spyware.
Safeguard your business by downloading our free Rapport security software to add additional protection to your antivirus and firewall protection.
