How to beat Spyware,Malware and Adware
Author: saleem aslam // Category:Spyware is computer software that is installed surreptitiously on a personal computer to intercept or take partial control over the user’s interaction with the computer, without the user’s informed consent.
While the term spyware suggests software that secretly monitors the user’s behavior, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring. Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits, sites that have been visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software, redirecting Web browser activity, accessing websites blindly that will cause more harmful viruses, or diverting advertising revenue to a third party. Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs.
Try these programs to remove all the malwares from your system: (using more then one application is recommended)
- The classic programs are Ad-aware and Spybot.
- Trend Micro Anti-Spyware for the Web is free online Spyware removal
- Microsoft has an Anti-Spyware program
- SpyCatcher 2006 from Tenebril has a free Express edition
If Spyware was detected and removed by the above programs, then you should also remove any Restore Points (Windows XP and Me only) that may include the malicious software. You do this by turning off System Restore. Then turn it back on and make a new Restore Point.
