Adware and Spyware - Your computer's worst enemies
Definition: Spyware is an Internet jargon for any data collection program that secretly gathers information about you and relays it to advertisers and other interested parties. Adware usually displays banners or un-wanted pop-up windows and usually includes spyware as well.
Don't you hate when you open up your e-browser and before you even type anything, a pop up window for weight watchers is prompting you to buy a membership? Ugh... I think we all have experienced problems with pop-ups and junk e-mails.
Most people aren't aware that when pop-ups are raiding your internet browser/s, your computer is actually infected with pests. Pests can lead to viruses, which could really damage your computer. It can be as simple as downloading free software such as: freeware or shareware (e.g., LimeWire, Bearshare, KaZaA), that you will unknowingly download adware and/or spyware as well.
I am going to give you some helpful tips on how to prevent and treat your computer from these unwanted pests.
Prevention:
-Reduce your use of cookies
-Avoid pop-up advertisements
-Avoid clicking links in when instant messaging
-Frequently scan your computer with adware/spyware detection software
Treatment: How to find the best adware removal software
-Make sure the software is easy to use and user friendly
-The software should scan and help prevent future pop-ups
-It should scan for both adware and spyware
-It should provide recommended actions and more info. on each item found
-Also use your anti-virus program along with adware remover
It's not easy finding really good adware and spyware removals; a lot of the programs mainly scan and don't thoroughly clean out your system. If your going to try to do it the "free way", there are some offers available but they generally only scan your computer and you must buy the full package to destroy the pests.
It is important to see reviews for a product before buying. There are so many choices when it comes to adware and spyware removal programs and the question is which ones are best? I have included 2 full review pages about adware and spyware removal software, from top brands: These programs will surely help you get rid of adware and spyware for good.
