A search toolbar or other browser toolbar appears even though you didn't request or install it. Spyware programs are usually installed with other programs that are advertised in regitimate ways.

You receive an email in your email client with offers related to your recent Internet searches. A spyware might be monitoring your buying habbits.

At a time when you're not doing anything online, the send or receive lights on your dial-up or broadband modem blink just as wildly as when you're downloading a file or surfing the Web. Or the network/modem icon in your system tray flashes rapidly even when you're not using the connection. This could be a spyware program sending out info from your computer.

It may appear to launch normally and then spontaneously shut down, or it may simply crash whenever you try to run it. Some Spyware programs will try to shut down your computer security programs so that they can run without being noticed.

Your phone bill includes expensive calls to 900 numbers that you never made—probably at an outrageous per-minute rate. Spyware programs can cost you thousands of dollars in losses
