US-CERT Cyber Security Tip ST04-016 -- Recognizing and Avoiding Spyware about 9 hours ago
- The following symptoms may indicate that spyware is installed on
  your computer:
  
  you are subjected to endless pop-up windows
  you are redirected to web sites other than the one you typed into
  your browser
  new, unexpected toolbars appear in your web browser
  new, unexpected icons appear in the task tray at the bottom of
  your screen
  your browser's home page suddenly changed
  the search engine your browser opens when you click "search" has
  been changed
  certain keys fail to work in your browser (e.g., the tab key
  doesn't work when you are moving to the next field within a form)
  random Windows error messages begin to appear
  your computer suddenly seems very slow when opening programs or
  processing tasks (saving files, etc.)
- To avoid unintentionally installing it yourself, follow these good
  security practices:
  
  Don't click on links within pop-up windows - Because pop-up
  windows are often a product of spyware, clicking on the window may
  install spyware software on your computer. To close the pop-up window,
  click on the "X" icon in the titlebar instead of a "close" link within
  the window.
  Choose "no" when asked unexpected questions - Be wary of
  unexpected dialog boxes asking whether you want to run a particular
  program or perform another type of task. Always select "no" or
  "cancel," or close the dialog box by clicking the "X" icon in the
  titlebar.
  Be wary of free downloadable software - There are many
  sites that offer customized toolbars or other features that appeal to
  users. Don't download programs from sites you don't trust, and realize
  that you may be exposing your computer to spyware by downloading some
  of these programs.
  Don't follow email links claiming to offer anti-spyware
  software - Like email viruses, the links may serve the opposite
  purpose and actually install the spyware it claims to be eliminating.

- - Adjust your browser preferences to limit pop-up windows and
    cookies - Pop-up windows are often generated by some kind of
    scripting or active content. Adjusting the settings within your
    browser to reduce or prevent scripting or active content may reduce
    the number of pop-up windows that appear. Some browsers offer a
    specific option to block or limit pop-up windows. Certain types of
    cookies are sometimes considered spyware because they reveal what web
    pages you have visited. You can adjust your privacy settings to only
    allow cookies for the web site you are visiting (see Browsing Safely:
    Understanding Active Content and Cookies and Evaluating Your
    Web Browser's Security Settings for more information).

- Perhaps, then, it is time that we reconsider the causal direction of previous claims: Perhaps it is not that contemporary media use has led to a decline in civic and social engagement, but rather that a decline in civic and social engagement has led to retribalization through contemporary media (McLuhan, 1964).
