Spyware tracks your movements on the Web and can affect your PC's performance. This guide explains how to protect your PC and remove spyware.
What Is Spyware?
Spyware is malicious code that infects your PC and can manifest itself as things such as unwanted browser toolbars and pop-ups, or if your browser homepage suddenly changes without your knowledge. Spyware also takes the form of tracking files that watch where you go on the web in order to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies. Not only is it a source of irritation but it also infringes on your privacy too.
Removing spyware is an important step in the process of cleaning unwanted files and programs from your PC, keeping it secure and fixing problems. Fortunately there are programs available to help you track down and remove these unwanted files. There are several commercial security packages that offer antispyware tools as well as other features.
Ad-Aware and Spybot are two free programs you can use to fight spyware.
