Spyware

As more and more people embrace the internet - whether for shopping, socializing, or business - there is an increasing opportunity for online crime to creep in to our new cyber way of life. Educating users on using and updating security software, as well as the current threats and online dangers, is key to lowering the opportunity that malware has to siege PCs. However, legislation from different parts of the world has attempted to punish the perpetrators out there on the web, and to curb the spread of malware. In the United States, recent steps in this direction have included two pieces of legislation, the I-Spy (Internet Spyware Prevention) Act and The Spy Act (Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass), both proposed in order to protect consumers from having their private information transmitted through spyware. The ASC is an organization, consisting of leaders in the anti-spyware industry and public interest groups, dedicated to the spyware battle by establishing standard processes, definitions and best practices across the spyware industry.
