Spyware is the most intrusive use of cookies being used by the morons who customize the advertising a website displays. Companies, such as the Double-Click Network, use banner ads to record your visits to its client sites. Since, technically, all the ads come from a single source, no matter which website you are visiting, (Double-Click) can use these spyware/tracking cookies to track you across sites that display its banner ads. The best programs to stop this pest is
SpywareBlaster. This program detects known spyware ActiveX controllers and prevents Web Pages from putting them on your system. Gator will never again ask you to download something. Xupiter and Bonzi Buddy will never again come knocking. All you have to do to keep SpywareBlaster aware of the latest threats is to regularly update the software's database.
No matter which you run, whether it's a free tool or one you purchased, you must remember to update it regularly. If you don't, the definitions it uses to scan your PC will be quickly out of date, and it won't be much good at rooting out spyware on your system.
