White Paper Abstract:
This paper discusses details regarding Cisco Security Agent-Enterprise solution for protection against Spyware and Adware. Understanding the differences between spyware and adware is important. The goal of spyware is to steal users' information or money without their knowledge; adware intends to convince users to part with their money. Adware behaviors are generally much more noticeable-your computer suddenly starts sprouting pop-up ads or redirecting your search engine-while spyware is designed to go undetected, acting stealthily in the background. Both spyware and adware employ similar tactics to install and take control of your computer.
