Spyware software can wreak havoc in your life. In fact, it ruined a lot of people's lives by stealing their identity and maxing out their credit cards. Spyware software was even used to blackmail people.

The thing about spyware software is that you can't really tell if your computer is infected with it. Even if you have the latest anti-virus software installed and you keep it up do date with the latest computer virus definitions, spyware software cannot be detected with these tools.
