SUMMARY
Expanded Threats
Threats that exist outside of commonly known definitions of viruses, worms, and Trojans, and that may provide unauthorized access to your computer, threats to your systems or data security, as well as other types of threats or nuisances, are known as Expanded Threats. These threats may include, but are not limited to, joke programs, adware, dialers, and spyware.
Expanded threats may be unknowingly downloaded from Web sites, email messages, or instant messengers. They can also be installed as a result of accepting the End User License Agreement from another software program related to or linked to the expanded threat.
