Even the most cautious computer users are

Chances are, Spyware, Adware, or both have
infected your computer, but lucky for you, many anti-Spyware
programs exist, so many, in fact, that finding an effective
program can be difficult. We’ve made the process easy.
After testing a wide-variety of anti-Spyware software, we’ve
developed our list of the Top 5 Anti-Spyware Programs.
About Spyware and Adware
Spyware and Adware, collectively referred
to as ‘malware’, negatively affect your computer security,
causing slow down, file corruption, and hard drive erosion.
Some malware is relatively harmless, simply designed to track
your online activity for marketing purposes; other malware is
intentionally harmful and can steal important information such
as credit card numbers, bank records, and social security
numbers.
Anti-Virus Protection
Unfortunately, even with the most
up-to-date firewall and anti-virus programs, every computer’s
security is susceptible to Spyware and Adware. The
solution: anti-spyware removal software.

Additional Information
How Your Computer Got Infected
You don’t have to be “doing things you
shouldn’t” in order to contract Spyware or Adware. These
malicious programs can be picked up while surfing the internet,
reading seemingly harmless emails, or ‘upgrading’ software.
Chances are you already have a few if not numerous forms of
spyware or adware.
Spyware
Spyware is local software (on your hard
drive) designed to collect your information without your
consent. Trojan Horses – back door programs that grant hackers
control of your computer – are considered spyware, as are key
loggers – programs that track your key strokes – and cookies.
Spyware programs are extremely dangerous and can affect your
computer’s security and lifespan, and can potentially compromise
your personal information.
Adware
Adware is unwanted programming that
installs advertising programs. Some adware redirects your
homepage or tracks your information and sends it to interested
parties, often for marketing purposes. If you are experiencing
abnormal amounts of popup advertising, your computer security
may be at risk due to adware. |
