Spyware and Deceptive Software| Top

Spyware, parasites, and other deceptive software can cause problems when using WebCT or other websites. Blackboard recommends that you check for, then uninstall or temporarily disable these types of software to eliminate problems when accessing Blackboard.

To check your browser for spyware, parasites, and other deceptive software and for more detailed information, visit the Doxdesk page on parasites: http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite

To help you control these types of Internet programs that could run on your computer, you can download and install a spyware detection and removal utility, such as:

* Lavasoft Ad-aware
* Spybot - Search & Destroy from PepiMK Software
