Spyware can invade your privacy by collecting information about you from your computer. It can also slow your computer way down, even to a crawl, depending on how much you have accumulated. Make sure you regularly scan your computer for malicious adware and spyware. Without trying to sound alarmist, it's just about the cyber-equivalent of a home invasion.
