Recently many hackers have found a new way of stealing sensitive stuff and information from the net. If next time you see any guy just sitting aimlessly for a lot of time in a internet cafe,Beware. He might be out next to take away your data. Adware is a software that sneaks up on computers usually when the user download some files, screensavers or toolbars. This kind of software comes from other's computer and it asks you to just install it without letting you access the main point. SO when you install it then mostly ads will start coming up in your laptop and while you think you are viewing just ads the attacker is actually sneaking away your information. The main disadvantage of this is that it can spread easily from one device to another so it's pretty dangerous. Some even have false antivirus which can harm your computer. They are like the tip of a iceberg. Though you can't see it completely you don't know how much damage it can cause until you have seen it. So make sure you have good antivirus software and always be extra careful when you entering personal details in an internet cafe! Happy Mylotting!

worms are a big problem as they just "eat" the data which we save in our systems for use...
