Comments on Spyware

I am a consultant and author specializing in consumer-oriented Internet topics. I am the primary author of The Internet for Dummies, the world’s best selling book on the Internet, which has sold over seven million copies in nine editions in over two dozen languages since 1993. I am also the co-author of numerous other books including the recent Internet Privacy for Dummies (2002) and Fighting Spam for Dummies (2004). In these books, my co-authors and I educate readers regarding online marketing and advertising practices that threaten the privacy of their personal information and/or present the risk of unauthorized collection, use, and abuse, of information about their online activities.
