You may not know it, but there are people out there who are chomping at the bit to scam you out of your hard earned money, and they are trying to put you at risk while you are working on your home computer.
These despicable characters are doing this by using a nasty program called spyware.
Spyware is placed on a computer without the knowledge of the user.
It can be used in a number of ways, the most severe being to get access to credit card and banking information of a user.
This is done through keylogging, where each of a user's keystrokes are monitored.
Spyware is used in other ways as well, primarily as an advertising tool.
Ever get a series of popups, or your home page has changed? These are all indicators of spyware.
So how can you get rid of these nasty intruders? You can try to do it on your own, but this is a very tricky process that can cause more problems than it solves.
Spyware is very hard to detect, and if you end up getting rid of a file that you think is spyware but is really an important file for Windows, you could cause major damage to your computer.
Your best option for getting rid of spyware is to use a spyware cleaner, which will scan your PC for problems, and get rid of them.
This type of program also works as anti spyware, to keep future spyware attacks off your PC.
