Dude asked:


My computer just started getting a ton of ads and then it started running very slow… I have McAfee and the Spyware protection was turned off and I don’t know how, but it was. McAfee also removed several trojans and it said it couldn’t remove some… Please what should I do? I am using my Nintendo Wii to get on the internet since my computer is going so slow. Help would be very appreciated.

Is Windows Vista supposed to keep spyware off of your computer?

Thursday, March 12th, 2009
WhizKid asked:


I heard that this was a main purpose for it since with XP, you can get all this spyware/adware on your computer. So with Vista, do you not need to worry about removing it or does it mean that it reduces it a lot? I am asking since Dell has some extremely low price deals on XP computers since after June you will not be able to register XP.

“warning Spyware Detected on Your Computer” and How to Fix it

Friday, January 9th, 2009

Jim Marshall asked:


The first thing to do is STOP what your doing. You need to be very careful when dealing with this problem. If you are getting a popup that says “Warning spyware detected on your computer” and then provides a link to spyware program DO NOT click on it. This is actually a trick used by various spyware, malware, and adware programs to simply infest your computer with MORE spyware.

 

If the message you are getting gives you more generic advice like “install an anti virus or spyware remover to clean up your computer” it is probably a legitimate threat.

 

How did you get spyware on your computer? There could be a myriad of reasons.



You recently downloaded shareware, freeware, or some other low cost program. A lot of these programs are “free” for a reason, the developers are paid to place spyware in it to steal information and recoup the cost of creating the software.

You downloaded music or other files through peer to peer or other shared networks.

You visited an untrustworthy website that hijacked your browser. A lot of “free giveaway websites, pornographic, and even song lyric websites are loaded with spyware. Without some sort of protection they can easily infect your computer.





So the question becomes what can I do about it? The first thing I recommend is do NOT try to fix the problem yourself. A lot of these files are deeply embedded and just removing a couple malevolent programs does not mean you are removing the spyware in it’s entirety.

 

I also do not recommend this action because you might inadvertently delete important registry or system files which could potentially corrupt your operating system. A good spyware detector will give you detailed analysis of what the threats are so you can be certain you aren’t deleting any files you actually need.

 

To fix the Warning spyware detected on your computer message, you need a great spyware removal tool. I have created a website Spyware Fix , detailing some of the best spyware removers on the net. Come on in and have a look to discover what I consider my #1 choice for killing spyware. With this program I promise you will never see that dreaded “Warning spyware detected on your computer” message ever again.

Spyware - Review Stop Spyware forever

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

Paul Schmitt asked:


In order to stop spyware forever you need to install a good spyware protection program before your PC gets infected. Spyware files get downloaded in different ways. If you enter a web site that has these types of programs on them they can get downloaded to your pc the minute you enter the site. Many times you don’t know they are downloading onto your computer. In order to remove spyware from your computer, you will need spyware removal software.

Another way these programs get downloaded to your pc is when you are downloading files or software from a site that has these files in them. I spent the past 16 years as a systems analyst for a very large company. From this experience I have found that it is helpful to have some sort of spyware removal software on your computer.

It is quite common for many sites that offer free downloads to infect your PC with spyware. Once a spyware file is downloaded to your PC it monitors your activity as well as were you go on the web, all your keystrokes, and many other things. The information that the spyware file gathers gets automatically sent off to its host site without your knowledge.

Adware infections are very similar and can slow your computer down the same as the spyware. You may suspect your infected by adware when you keep getting redirected to other sites and receive tons of pop ups.

Once spyware programs are loaded on your computer can really slow your pc down to a snails pace. Sometimes they cause such problems that you can no longer even use your pc. Proper removal of the spyware is crucial in order to clean up your pc.

It is important to choose reliable spyware removal software that will effectively remove spyware and these unwanted files from you computer. It is also important to make sure you have the most up to date spyware removal software on the market.

When choosing what sites to go to on the web you should be safe and carefully choose what site you are directing yourself to. Popular big name companies and such are usually very safe sites to visit. Remember not all sites that offer free software are sites that will infect your computer. However I have noticed that many sites that do offer free stuff to download like games, movies, and free software are many times the source of these spyware files.

Surf the Internet safely and be careful what sites you surf and buy your self a good spyware protection program. One program I have had great success with over the years is NoAdware. The software will remove adware and spyware from your pc. I will post another article soon with a review of the NoAdware spyware removal software. If you would like to see the software visit my website. Remember choosing a good program to prevent spyware from getting on your PC is the first step you can take in the fight against spyware.

Amit asked:


I don’t know how, but my PC got infected by a lot of unwanted installs that I don’t know how to uninstall. These softwares display unwanted popups in my Internet browser windows. I have tried Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera but these softwares manage to get into all of them. I have this problem from more than a month now.
