Spywares, Adware, Trojans:
Spywares, as the name suggests itself, are software that secretly tracks one’s online behavior, and installs malicious software without user’s concern. Adwares, Trojans also interpret the same behavior. Downloaded applications, corrupted CDs can be counted as their sources. They may display loads of disturbing ads and in turn slowing down one’s internet, they can pass one’s information to others.
Prevention:
- Present your website with DigiCert SSL certificates that come with DigiCert Secured Seal (available separately) that scans regularly your website against viruses, spyware, trojan horses, worms, adware or other malicious programs and will notify you by email.
- Be very much careful before downloading any content from the suspicious or even from the unsecured website.
- Ignore clicking on the ad links as these behaviors are marked by the spywares and further leads to unknown threats.
