The National Cyber Security Alliance found 90% of PCs had been infected with spyware. Spyware has become one of the preeminent security threats to computer systems running Microsoft Windows operating systems. Computers where Internet Explorer (IE) is the primary browser are particularly vulnerable to such attacks not only because IE is the most widely-used, but because its tight integration with Windows allows spyware access to crucial parts of the operating system. Microsoft estimates that half of all PC crashes are due to spyware. Dell Computers reports that 12% of calls to their tech-support line are related to spyware issues. Some ISPs report that the length of the average spyware-related call is 25 minutes, compared to the average of 6 minutes for all other issues. Yet, more than two thirds of small office and home computer users think they are safe from online threats. Any type of software that's not done at the consent of the consumer, that doesn't make it clear to the consumer what it's doing, it monitors behavior, or potentially shows ads that are not branded, where the consumer doesn't know what they have, where the consumer can't uninstall, that would be Spyware. Consumers have downloaded free versions of the two most widely-used anti-Spyware programs over 45 million times. 80 percent of users are not aware it is running on their computers.

Spyware collects and then misuses personally identifiable consumer information. Spyware exposes consumers and businesses to security risks. Spyware causes slow performance, inability to access the Internet, extra icons and pop up ads, Internet or system freezes and crashes, and so on. It can also capture a computer and use it to send out spam. Spyware can cause browser hijacking, things like resetting your Home Page, and adding applications that show pop-up advertising that do not identify themselves, with no idea where it's coming from, no ability to control what's on your computer. And it can be difficult for consumers to uninstall Spyware. Is it worth it, paying someone to come out to your house and spend $85 or more to clean spyware off your machine? Or even worse, instead of cleaning this thing up, buying a whole new computer system (that could still get infected later on). If you, or someone using your PC, have downloaded Internet files such as music, games, screensavers, pictures or movies, then adware and spyware programs have been added to your computer's hard drive without your direct knowledge.
