I have been into computers since the TRS-80 Model I came out in the late seventies. I am not a programmer, but I can put a PC together from scratch, install an operating system and just about any software. I can tweak a machine under the hood and have been able to solve just about any problem I have encountered. To my family, friends and associates, I am the local computer guru.
But even I was dumbfounded to find out how much spyware had infiltrated my pc and made a home for itself on my hard drive.
Here's the long and short of it. The odds are, if you spend any time online, you have SOME sort of spyware or adware residing on your computer. Ask yourself these questions:
All these are symptoms of a violation of your computer. Thankfully, there is a solution.
This is NOT a paid advertisement and I don't make a dime off this endorsement.
With that said, RUN, don't walk, to Lavasoft, and get a FREE copy of their Ad-Aware Spyware/Adware detection software. Install it. Run a scan on your computer and be astounded at just how much trash is on your hard drive (apart from that budget game that you know you shouldn't have bought).
Ad-Aware will show you your vulnerable spots and clean up your machine. It worked great on my pc and I am a much happier camper now. I will probably be running Ad-Aware on a weekly basis.
It's Del.icio.us!
Furl It!

Unfortunatly Adaware only catches about half of the bad stuff. I also use Spy Sweeper to catch the rest.
