Featured Link: SpywareInfo: Home of the spyware weekly for general information, newsletters, and articles pertaining to spyware and other parasites. Great for current spyware news.

Featured Tip:

Freeware (free downloadable programs like Hotbar) may look fun and harmless, but often times it is just pesky spyware or adware dressed in a pretty package. Before downloading anything free to your computer, ask yourself two questions: 1. Do I really need to download this? 2. Is it harmful or incompatible with my computer? To help answer those questions, go to http://www.spywareguide.com for a list of searchable programs, or contact ITD (42857).
