What is Spyware?

The question has been asked,
Isn't this spyware?

Agloco is NOT creating spyware, nor is it an intrusion on the members' privacy.

You have to admit that when you first realize that someone's been spying on you, peeking in on your computer, it feels a little scary. Education empowers you! The more you learn about how to protect yourself, you will no longer feel intimidated!

There is software to take care of these issues, and you should use it on a regular basis.


Why is the viewbar NOT Spyware.

1. Member data is only looked at with informed permission of each individual member.


2. Data is used by Agloco only to provide services to members, it is not disclosed.


3. Member data is destroyed if a member ever chooses to leave Agloco.

So just what is Spyware?

1. Spyware is installed onto your computer without your permission.


2. It tracks your movement on the internet without your knowing it.


3. Since you don't know it's running, it's unlikely that you could turn it off.


4. The data gathered is sent to unknown and untrustworthy entities.


5. You have no control over what happens to the data.

And Anti-Spyware - What is that?

That's the software the you use to clean your computer of "spyware." I like using Ad-Aware SE Personal and Spybot which are both free to download from the internet.
