Remove spyware and adware to protect your online privacy.
Spyware and adware have eclipsed viruses as the fastest growing online threat, infecting nearly 90% of Internet connected PCs. Most anti-virus software won't detect or remove spyware and adware because they aren't viruses. Special anti-spyware software programs are available to locate and safely delete their components, and just like anti-virus software periodical updates are required to detect new variants.
What is Spyware?
Spyware is a term for software that stealth installs on computer systems without the user's knowledge that allows companies or people to monitor the user's computer or internet activity. This monitoring may include keyboard strokes, website visits, form submissions, email addresses, passwords and even bank account details. This can lead to your personal details being published on the internet or sold to criminals, account hacking, financial loss, or identity theft. With identity theft becoming such a big problem, companies like Lifelock.org now offer services for identity theft protection because many people don't know that they have had their information stolen until it's too late.
Spyware can infect computers systems by:
Clicking a Pop up window
Opening a spy carrying email attachment
Exploiting a security flaw
Visiting a website which has a drive-by-download. 1 in 62 domains perform drive-by-downloads. Websites that offer pirated software are the worst offenders.
Downloading a spy hidden in another program. 5% of downloadable programs contain piggybacked spyware. Freeware, peer-to-peer networks, pirated games, crack files, movie and celebrity websites pose the greatest risk.

Adware is a term for software that displays advertisements. It is usually free of charge and earns income for the vendor by displaying advertisements. Adware can monitor the user's internet activity, sending and receiving information with its home server so that targeted advertising can be spawned in the form of pop-up windows and/or toolbar links. Adware can infect computers using the same unethical methods employed by spyware, so adware can also be spyware.
Symptoms
Spyware and adware can sometimes severely degrade computer performance. A slow running computer could be an indication of an infection. Other signs of spyware or adware infections may include:
excessive pop up ads
browser homepage changed/hijacked without the user's knowledge, which either cannot be changed or will come back to haunt the user later
unusual websites in favorites which may reappear after being removed
a new browser toolbar installed without the user's knowledge, which cannot be removed or may reappear after being removed
search requests are redirected to a search engine you don't normally use
the phone bill has unexplained calls to 900 numbers
anti-spyware or other security programs stop working normally
fraudulent alert messages about spyware or virus infections
the modem's send and receive lights blink when the user is not doing anything online
everything appears normal (can only be detected by anti-spyware).

Illicit adware and spyware methods are now being used to stealth install adware onto PCs to promote rogue anti-spyware programs. It begins when a Trojan horse installs an adware program onto the user's PC, usually as a drive-by-download. The adware program then displays pop-up windows that mimic genuine Windows system alert messages or may appear as a system tray or taskbar balloon pop-up. This alert message warns the user about spyware or virus activity which doesn't really exist. It is actually a deception designed to scare the user into downloading and purchasing an anti-virus, anti-spyware or registry cleaner program to fix the reported fake problem.
Reputable anti-spyware programs are available to safely remove spyware and rogue programs. Spyware and rogueware makers are constantly updating their programs to avoid detection and removal, so there's an ongoing need for anti-spyware programs to stay up-to-date with automatic updates, perform scheduled scanning and have technical support staff available to help their users with any problems they might get when removing new spyware variants. It's often the case that anti-spyware companies are playing "catch-up" whenever there's a new variant. Which ever anti-spyware product you choose, first make sure the publisher has verifiable credentials like a VeriSign seal and BBB accreditation.
