According to many sources spyware infects up to 80-90% of all PCs. These unobtrusive, malicious programs are designed to bypass firewalls and anti-virus software without the user’s knowledge and install themselves. Once embedded in a computer they wreak havoc on the system’s performance while gathering your personal Continue reading Spyware – Are you being watched?

Apparently when the Discovery Channel broadcasts ‘Shark Week’ this year it starts on August the 2nd visits to Florida beaches decline dramatically. Presumably, the Discovery’s programing makes the waters no less safe (I hope).
