Abstract :
Technology frequently turns out to be a double-edged sword. For example, as technology has increased connectivity and network accessibility, concerns about privacy and security have grown. As this concern has increased, invasive technologies-such as those that let third parties plant software on a PC and monitor users´ activities from across a LAN or the Internet-are becoming more sophisticated. The paper discusses new invasive software such as Spyware, pop-over ads, e-mail tracking and Magic Lantern software
