Giving Spyware the Boot:Dummies Home Networking For Dummies, 4th Edition Giving Spyware the Boot Adapted From: Home Networking For Dummies, 4th Edition Printer-ready version

Not even James Bond could bring any glamour to the nastiness of spyware, which is a software program that installs itself (without your knowledge) on your computer. After it s installed, the software collects information about you, and when you re online it sends the information to the spyware program s owner. Most spyware fits into either of two categories: lap top

How spyware works

Surveillance spyware scans documents on your computer and can capture your keystrokes as you type. It can spy on forms you re filling out on a Web site (such as your login password or your credit card number) and the text you enter in a chat window. Government and detective agencies have been known to use this type of software, as have jealous spouses. refurbished

Advertising spyware is software that is installed when you re installing other software (usually software you download from the Internet) or that is installed in the background while you re visiting a Web site. It s common for advertising spyware to be included (without your being told) when you install software that s advertised as free, if you don t mind seeing advertisements when you use it. One of the most pervasive distributors of spyware is software you download to take advantage of peer to peer file exchanges (for music and video). Advertising spyware logs information about your computer and about you. The information includes passwords, your Web browsing habits, your online buying habits, and so on. memory

Both types of spyware can also install viruses and worms on your computer. Many of them change your browser settings (such as your home page), and your efforts to correct the changes are temporary; the spyware changes them again. intel

One of the annoying features of spyware is its connection to pop-up ads. Using the information it has collected about you, the spyware initiates pop-up ads whenever you connect to a Web site. The spyware software producer receives income whenever you respond to one of these pop-up ads, so the theory is the more the better. After a while, using the Internet becomes almost impossible because of the barrage of pop-ups. Regardless of your Internet Explorer controls for your children, the pop-ups often contain pornography. as400

How to get rid of it

The only way to remove spyware from your computer is to use software designed for that purpose. The following two programs are well regarded by computer professionals: averatec

Creating Readable Slides in PowerPoint 2003:Dummies PowerPoint 2003 for Dummies Creating Readable Slides in PowerPoint 2003 Adapted From: PowerPoint 2003 for Dummies Printer-ready version

Here are a few random tips and pointers that will help you produce readable slides. data storage

Try reading the slide from the back of the room

The No. 1 rule of creating readable slides is that everyone in the room must be able to read them. If you re not sure, there s one sure way to find out: Try it. Fire up the projector, call up the slide, walk to the back of the room, and see if you can read it. If you can t, you ll have to make an adjustment. hitachi

Remember that everyone s eyesight may not be as good as yours. If you have perfect vision, squint a little when you get to the back of the room to see how the slide may appear to someone whose vision isn t perfect. rational

No more than five bullets, please

Ever notice how David Letterman uses two slides to display his Top Ten lists Dave s producers know that ten items is way too many for one screen. Five is just right. You may be able to slip in six now and again, but if you re up to seven or eight, try breaking the slide into two slides. websphere

Avoid small text

If you can t read a slide from the back of the room, it s probably because the text is too small. The rule of thumb is that 24-point type is the smallest you should use for text that you want people to read. A 12-point type may be perfectly readable in a Word document, but it s way too small for PowerPoint. battery

Avoid excessive verbiage leading to excessively lengthy text that is not only redundant but also repetitive and reiterative

See This heading would have been more efficient if it were, Be Brief. it support

Use consistent wording

One sign of an amateur presentation is wording in bullet lists that isn t grammatically consistent. Consider this list: western digital

• Profits will be improved music

• Expanding markets networks

• It will reduce the amount of overseas competition toner

• Production increase cheap laptops

Each sentence uses a different grammatical construction. The same points made with consistent wording have a more natural flow and make a more compelling case: wholesale

• Improved profits brother

• Expanded markets netvista

• Reduced overseas competition camera

• Increased production networking
