You are at your computer, checking out software on eBay. The computer is really sluggish, and you are not running anything else. You click on a link, and BLAM you are redirected to a search page you've never heard of and the back button won't work. You've got Spyware! Just what is Spyware? The word brings to mind exploding pens and shoe phones. In fact, software makers have struggled to define what spyware is, and is not. The Anti Spyware Coalition, a group of companies that include EarthLink, Microsoft, and Hewlett Packard, have recently published a document that defines spyware as such: Spyware impairs users control over material changes that affect their user experience, privacy or system security; use of their system resources, including what programs are installed on their computers; or collection, use and distribution of their personal or otherwise sensitive information In simpler terms, spyware spies the software on your computer, personal information, what web pages you look at, and in some cases, usernames and passwords. Ugh. The first spyware distribution was in 1999, and is attributed to a popular freeware program called Elf Bowling. Many users found to their dismay that this harmless game, was sending information to the creators, Nsoft. This spawned the first anti spyware program in the year 2000. Now, both spyware and anti spyware programs are too numerous to count. There are several types of software that fall under the generic description of spyware. Let's look at a few, and what they do. Adware " adware is an application that displays advertising banners. The reason this is criticized is that it can send information back to the company, who then targets you with specific banners based on the web pages you've opened. This is different from clicking on a banner for more information. This program sneaks in the back door, not advertising its presence. Please note that the word AdWare is a trademark of AdWare Systems, an honest software company. They are not a part of adware, just share the unfortunate name. Key loggers are just that. They collect the keystrokes you make, like logging into your bank account, and send it to the hacker. Now he has your account number, user name, and password. Hijackers and Toolbars are another form of spyware. Hijackers take over your browser, opening pages you don't want, and preventing you from opening ones you need " like a site that tells you how to get rid of them. Toolbars are the same sort of thing. Now, you may want to have a toolbar like Yahoo or Google on your browser. They can make searches easier, and may have popup or ad blockers. The malware forms of these try to look like them, but they have completely different motives. Malware is a generic term for malicious software. These programs don't just collect information; they are out to get your computer. Technically, these are not spyware, but a brief explanation seems to be in order. Malware spreads itself through the computer, changing files, making copies to send, even erasing the hard drive. Virus' and worms are a part of this group. Other malware programs are Trojan Horse, or Backdoor. These hide quietly in your computer until you connect to the Internet. Then they creep around your browser, reporting in to the owner, who then uses your computer address to send out virus's, malware, and spam. Some hackers link several computers to send so much nonsense information to a particular web site that it is overwhelmed, causing it to shut down. How does spyware end up on your computer? You're not going to like this. . but most likely you loaded it on yourself! Wait! Before we get nasty letters, let us explain. Remember those smileys you downloaded last week? How about the cute cursor the nine year old picked? Most of these free programs have spyware attached, or imbedded in them. Even Adobe Reader loads a Yahoo search bar when you update the reader. Remember when you installed the program and that gray box popped up with a thousand lines of small print? Did you read it? I doubt anyone does. The spyware distributor counts on that. If you do manage to slog through the legalese, and stuff only advanced programmers would know (or care about), there will be a few innocuous lines, something along the lines of: this program will collect information to better your enjoyment of this program, or a web search toolbar will be added to your browser. When you click on the accept button to install the software, you have also agreed to the spyware program. Another way is when a box pops up claiming to be legitimate software needed to view the site properly, or that it is an update. It only has a yes button, implying that you are required to allow the download. These are copying legitimate updates from places like Microsoft, or Macromedia. Just what is spyware going to do to your computer? Anything you can do, he can do better. It is an executable that can record keystrokes, read your files, watch your word processing program, change your home page, add and delete files, read your cookies (with personal info), then phone home with the info. Some spyware will crash your browser if you try to uninstall it. Others may pretend to be uninstalled, but they wait until your back is turned to load itself back on your system. You don't know how the stuff was loaded on your computer, but it is causing all kinds of problems. The computer is running slower, certain programs are not working, and on occasion, you see the dreaded blue screen of death. (crash). Don't worry, you are not alone According to an October 2004 study by America Online and the National Cyber Security Alliance, 80% of surveyed users' computers had some form of spyware, with an average of 93 spyware components per computer. 89% of surveyed users with spyware reported that they did not know of its presence, and 95% reported that they had not given permission for it to be installed. Now what do you do? There are several good spyware removal programs out there. Once you get your computer clean, how do you avoid getting dirty again? There are firewalls and programs designed to watch for known spyware. When you register, the known spyware definitions can be updated on a regular basis. You could use a browser other than Internet Explorer (most spyware exploits problems here). For example, in Washington State, USA, it is illegal for anyone other than the owner/operator of a computer to install software that alters web browser settings, monitors keystrokes, or disables computer security software. There is hope. In 2005, NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer brought suit against Intermix Media, Inc. Intermix's spyware program spread by drive by download (loaded without permission), and installed itself in such a way it was very difficult to remove. Intermix settled for $7.5 million dollars. Spyware is here to stay. Your best bet is to be informed " know the tricks used by spyware to load itself. Use a firewall or spyware blocker program. Most important, understand exactly what that new program will install on your innocent computer.

Bielema just shook his head in amazement at his good fortune. His star quarterback, Russell Wilson, had been North Carolina State starter until he transferred this past summer. With seventh ranked Wisconsin 48 17 rout of No. 8 Nebraska on a chilly Saturday night behind Wilson dazzling 255 passing yards with two touchdown passes and a 10 yard touchdown run it a question the rest of college football also is asking. While the answer is O stubbornness, Wisconsin finds itself in the thick of the national championship hunt. The team has a favorable schedule the rest of the season and Wilson has emerged as a front runner for the Heisman Trophy. This season he has thrown for 1,391 yards and 13 touchdowns with just one interception. well as he playing, if there a better player in college football I like to see it, Bielema said. big stage, he thrives on it. He plays so clean. Nebraska's vaunted Blackshirt defense, the 5 foot 11, 210 pound dual threat Wilson answered critics of his team's easy non conference schedule with a sterling 14 of 20 passing performance. Despite Wisconsin's shaky first possession and the Badgers falling behind for the first time this season, Wilson started to take over in the second quarter. He accounted for all but 7 yards of a six play, 77 yard touchdown drive that ended with tailback Montee Ball 3 yard touchdown run, which cut Nebraska lead to 14 13 with 9:48 left in the second quarter. But every time Wisconsin trailed, Wilson kept the offense poised. In the huddle, left guard Travis Frederick recalls Wilson saying, got to weather the storm. was even keel the whole time, Frederick said. was keeping us up. in the second quarter, Wilson rolled out to his right and lofted a 36 yard touchdown pass to wide open wide receiver Jared Abbrederis, who made a diving reception in the end zone. After a Nebraska punt, Wilson pump faked before connecting with streaking wide receiver Nick Toon on a 46 yard touchdown pass for a 27 14 halftime lead. Wilson barrage stunned Cornhuskers coach Bo Pelini and his team in their first conference game as a member of the Big Ten. embarrassed by how we played defensively, Pelini said. apologize to the fans of Nebraska, because that was a joke. Plain and simple. Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez was intercepted to open the second half, Wilson had a 10 yard touchdown run on a naked bootleg to the left in which he beat two Cornhuskers defenders. He finished the game with six carries for 32 yards. he amazes me, but on the same account, it doesn Bielema said. he does is just kind of real natural. like Wilson attention to detail. Bielema has a tactic that when his team is up at least three scores, he milks the clock in the second half and doesn snap the ball until there is less than five seconds left on the play clock. It a philosophy that Bielema learned from his predecessor and current Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, a former Nebraska player, who congratulated his coach after the game with a hug and by telling him, f job. even with the game well in hand in the fourth quarter, Wilson remembered that Bielema wanted to run the clock, and instead of running out of bounds, Wilson slid down in bounds. kid and his presence is off the charts, Bielema said. With Wilson eligible to play right away for Wisconsin because he already had graduated and had only one year of eligibility, he been labeled as a When Bielema was asked after the game whether he was bothered by the stigma, he had a one word answer. just still believe we Wisconsin and what we are, he said. just extremely good right now. Wilson arrival, Bielema didn have that same confidence. He talked about his team winning a Big Ten title, but not as a national championship contender. The latter is a real possibility, with Wisconsin toughest remaining games at Michigan State on Oct. 22 and at Ohio State the following week. didn realize he handle the stage as well as he does, Bielema said of Wilson. Wilson is doing it in a way that has his teammates spellbound on occasions. Wisconsin free safety Aaron Henry recalls once hearing former NBA player Steve Kerr talk about how other players on the court with Michael Jordan would sometimes just stop and watch him. not comparing Russell to Michael Jordan, but sometimes you just have to stop and see what he doing out there and see how amazing he playing, Henry said. As awed as Henry is by Wilson, he even more stunned that O let Wilson get away from North Carolina State. don know what that coach was thinking, Henry said. else trash is another man treasure. In Wisconsin, we love him. It so hard to fathom. Wilson ran off the field after the game, the Wisconsin student section chanted his name. He waved to the crowd, and before disappearing into the tunnel, he made the No. 1 gesture. definitely huge, Wilson said of the victory. pretty awesome. acknowledged that the impressive way his team won Saturday night thrust it into the national championship discussion, but he wouldn say more than that he would vote the Badgers well in the USA Today coaches poll. Not that he was ducking the question.
