Internet Spy

Internet Spy monitors every Web page accessed on the computer and makes a chronological record of all visited URLs. It includes elevated threats that are typically installed without adequate notice and consent, and may make unwanted changes to system, such as reconfiguring browser’s homepage and search settings. These threats may install advertising-related add-ons, including toolbars and search bars, or insert advertising-related components into the Winsock Layered Service Provider chain. These new add-ons and components may block or redirect preferred network connections and can negatively impact computer’s performance and stability. Elevated threats may also collect, transmit, and share potentially sensitive data without adequate notice and consent.0
