How to Tell if You are Inftected with Spyware

According to most PC magazines 80% of all computers have spyware on them.It's not all bad news, Many of these programs are very inisent.In english that means most of these programs do very little to slow down or harm your computer.  In fact many of these programs such as games come installed on PCs right from the store.

You still need to make sure you are not infected.Almost everyone using a free virus or spyware scanner program will find they are infected.  Free scanners do little to pre-vent the most common forms of spyware.  Read a bit more about some popular threats at on this Virtumonde Removal site or this Remove Vundo site.  Both sites provide some good detail on spyware and how it affects your computer.

Don't worry you can scan your PC for free and see if you are infected.  I’m not talking about using a junk client.  Check out the sites highlighted above for a free trial of Spyware Doctor.This is the main tool we use to repair peoples commputers when they are infected with Spyware.This bad boy keeps winning awards because it is one of the best out there.Like everything in life worth value it does cost money but you can get a free 30 day trial.  You really only need one day because the first scan will let you know if you have infections or not.  If not then don’t worry about it.  If you are infected with spyware then you need to take action.

Almost all programs provide a more info link on threats the scanner finds, click on it to see what that program does.  If you see a cookie as an infection and chances are you will don’t worry about it.  These are harmless little traces that do nothing.

Another good resource is this Vundo Removal Software
site.The blog is mostely about Vundo but does describe how many spyware aplications work.  Remember do not purchase any spyware software or virus software without getting some feedback on it.  The other thing to remember is no free client on the market provides enough protection.  Most of these programs do not give you protection.  It’s only after you have been infected that they kick in and by then it’s often too late.
