Spyware and software that collect online information about a user without his consent: to be checked, labeled, and spied it X-rayed before the eyes of all, certainty rather than feeling that hardly makes the headlines. Orwellian predictions were adversaries ate, that is alarming legislators and governments around the world to question the intent to do: on the one hand a world legislation uneven, fragmented and unclear (everyone looks after themselves); other users and citizens (users) that become more and more victims of malware (malicious software) that have as their goal the collection of information on navigation or the use of computers as a promotional vehicle for sites and services: sending unsolicited advertisements (spam); change the home page or the browser's Favorites list, or illegal activities q hich the redirection of false e-commerce sites (phishing), and so on.
