// May 7th, 2009 // No Comments » // White papers
An increasing number of shareware softwares today come with spyware programs, programs that collect browsing habits of users and other information and periodically report them to remote host.

We also propose a set of basic network signatures and demonstrate that most of the commonly found spywares satisfy them.
