Many, many, many [ranging somewhere between a plethora and a surfiet] WINDOWS users get victimized by software which they download without knowing exactly what it does [they did not real the EULA, like all good IT professionals are supposed to do]; sometimes they are victimized by "drive-by downloading", where a Web site foists some malware upon the unsuspecting. This sort of spyware, as it is called, often gets started whenever you boot up, and it can reside in any of six stages of startup, making it difficult for most users to pinpoint where to look if they are victims, or how to cure it in that case. Among the other interesting bits of free software on this site, InnerReg vV 1.0 takes care of this with some authority.
