Software

The software that's in your computer can have bugs or is just poorly written, and when its run can cause all manner of trouble in the computing environment. The trouble caused by one program may not show up until yet another, unrelated, program is latter run. Some programs that make heavy use of memory may not release all the memory, that was assigned to it, when it is closed. This can cause fragmented memory. Fragmented memory can slowly grow as programs are used, eventually growing to a point where the free memory is insufficient to allow the computer to run properly.
Adbots, Parasites, & Spyware are a family of small programs that are installed in your computer, (usually without your knowledge), during the installation of some shareware/freeware programs. Hundreds of useful programs, some of which you may already have in your computer, carry an imbedded "spyware" program. Spyware allows advertising agencies to receive reports about where you are surfing and what web-ads you click on.

Most of these Adbots, or spyware programs, DON'T collect specific information about you, but only report general demographics, and therefore are NOT stealing your name, credit card, or other personal information.

The Real problem with these Parasites
The real problem with these parasites, "spyware programs", is that many are poorly written, "contain bugs or errors", and can cause problems with the normal operation of your computer.

The Real Problem!
The real problem with these parasites, "spyware programs", is that many are poorly written, "contain bugs or errors", and can cause problems with the normal operation of your computer.

The New Problem!
Legitimate software companies are now attempting to sell your unused CPU cycles without your knowledge or your consent, and without compensating you. Some cretins, such as Juno are now testing a new business model that steals from you. Juno, (and if this works, surly more to come), will sell time on your computer. They sell your unused computer time, much like FedEx or UPS using your car, at night while you are asleep, to deliver packages, and of course not paying you or filling the tank.
