How do I prevent Spyware?

• Be conscious of what you are clicking on/downloading

• Some pop-ups have what appears to be a close button, but will actually try to install spyware when you click on it. Always look for the topmost right red X.

• Remember that things on the internet are rarely free. “Free” Screensavers etc. generally contain ads or worse that pay the programmer for their time.
