How To Easily Get Rid of Spyware,
Pop-Ups, And Other Computer Pests.
What is Spyware?
Spyware is a general term used for software that performs certain
behaviors such as advertising, collecting personal information, or
changing the configuration of your computer without obtaining your
consent. You might have spyware or other unwanted software on your
computer if:
1.) You see pop-up advertisements even when you're not on the Web
2.) The page your Web browser first opens to (your home page) or your
browser search settings have changed without your knowledge
3.) You notice a new toolbar in your browser that you didn't want & find
it difficult to get rid of.
4.) Your computer takes longer than usual to complete certain tasks
5.) You experience a sudden rise in computer crashes
How Did I Get Spyware?
There are a number of ways spyware or other unwanted software can get on
your system. A common trick is to covertly install the software during the
installation of other software you want such as a music or video file
sharing programs.
Whenever you are installing something on your computer, make sure you
carefully read all disclosures, including the license agreement and
privacy statement. Sometimes the inclusion of unwanted software in a given
software installation is documented, but it may appear at the end of a
license agreement or privacy statement.
Why Should I Delete & Remove Spyware?
Removing spyware is not something you should do, it’s something you
have to do. Spyware, adware and other unwanted programs can: |
 |
Open
your PC to identity theft |
|
|
Expose your personal
information and private accounts |
|
|
Corrupt your hard drive |
|
|
Share your passwords and
user names |
It’s estimated that 95% of all
computers with an internet connection are infected with some form of
spyware.
How Do I Delete
& Remove Spyware?
Many kinds of unwanted software, especially spyware, are designed to be
difficult to remove. If you try to uninstall this software like any other
program, you might find that the program reappears as soon as you restart
your computer. If you're having trouble uninstalling unwanted software,
you may need to download a tool to do the job for you.

yourself with Spy Sweeper
