It can also turn your computer into a zombie system, sending spam e-mail messages to your contacts and far beyond. Your system can also be used to store data, such as e-mail lists, personal information or illegal images.
some actions that can help you against spyware:

• Keep Windows up-to-date by setting up automatic updates in the control panel.
