If your computer has been working slowly lately, it may have been infected by spyware. Spyware is a program that gets on your computer and ’spys’ on it. The types of spyware programs vary, from programs that provide pop-ups on your computer to other programs that track your typing on your computer and record important information like personal passwords.
A great way to combat spyware is to get two or more anti-spyware programs, and to use them frequently. The above programs are all great anti-spyware programs which you can download and install for free. Think of them like ‘anti-virus’ programs - anti-spyware programs search your hard drive to find and quarantine any spyware programs your computer may have.
