Your hard drive may be home to spy ware, programs that monitor your surfing habits and send off your personal data.

It seems that about one out of ten computers has Gator, another one out of ten might have another program that’s similar. In all told, computers in public places perhaps a quarter, to even a half, have one or another of these programs installed2. It knows every website you’ve been to, in what order, on what days. Gator knows your zip code and, of course, also your name and address, phone number and email. If you’re asked whether you’d like to install something, and you’re not quite sure, the safe answer is always no.

Smartphone Apps May Share Info with Advertisers

Then they randomly selected 30 of the most popular Android apps, choosing only ones that require access to the Internet and access to the phone's GPS, camera or microphone. And they played with them, all while tracking the data each app sent out.
Turns out 15—half the apps—sent the phone's location to third-party advertisers. Two apps did present user agreements—but they said nothing about sending that data. And a third of the apps revealed the phonwww.rixia.cce's unique ID, sometimes along with the phone number and SIM card serial number. The findings will be presented at an upcoming USENIX Symposium.
