Ever notice when you go to a web site and there are ads for something you searched for a couple of days ago? That's because Internet advertising companies keep track of your every move.
If you're on a PC and surf the Internet, your computer is probably full of little cookies and spyware running in the background. They download without your knowledge and monitor your movements. And those are the legitimate ones. Stumble onto the wrong site and you could download some nasty little bugs. Yuck.
Yeah, we know Macs don't have to worry about this stuff. But for the majority of the population, get Ad-Aware. It's free and it keeps your computer clean. Download from CNET.
