[vox-tech] Spyware For Linux?

[Bob Scofield]

A friend of mine was recently complaining that her Windows computer was too 
slow.   She said it ran much faster after running a spyware program.

My son just sent me a message he received from the U.C.S.C. computer people.  
They advised running spyware to speed up computers.  So here are my 
questions.  Does Linux need spyware?  Is there spyware available for Linux?

Also, check this passage out from the U.C.S.C. post:

"Microsoft's Internet Explorer has been the target of many of the bad guys 
attempting to ruin your web browsing experience. Use of the Firefox web 
browser is great way to keep your web surfing as smooth as possible.  You can 
download it from http://www.getfirefox.com"
