Computer Spyware removal
Computer has spyware, may have a spyware
One key thing to remeber is that Anti Virus software and Anti Spyware software is different and they wont do the same thing.
Detecting spyware:
Spyware is a virus as most people would understand, 'Spy ware' is software that spy's on you and collects data and then sends it to someone, or allows them full access to your computer.
Spyware is quite a odd thing as it comes in many forms, internet explorer plugins can often have this type of spyware in them, if you dont read the small print of the contract you wouldnt even know that you have legally installed it.
Spyware sits on your computer sending out information, changin the adverts that are shown on sites or creating pop ups. the worst type is the type that watches for your log on details and passwords together with your credit card details.
if you take a look at your system manager you may find that a process pops up that dosent seam right or cannot be accounted for. This is a little technical as most will not know what they do in the first place and googling the name of the process to fnd out what is is can take time. Detecting it is only the first part of getting rid of the spyware.
The best policy:
The best policy has to be prevention, so good AVS, spyware software should be used regulary and tested.
Maintenance from a professional can also see if you have any issues with your computer system and should visit on a more regular basis, not just when there is a fault or virus on your computer.
