Have you seen a new toolbar in your Internet Explorer that you didn't remember installing? Has your browser start page changed suddenly without you resetting it? Is your computer running much slower than before? Is there an application you didn't install which you are finding difficult to remove? If you experienced any of these scenarios, as most computer users have, you have probably encountered the spyware problem.

Even if you didn't experience any problem as described, your computer may still be infected, as most spyware just silently track your activities to create a profile for advertisement companies.

Spyware is a relatively new but obscure threat to computers that anti-virus programmers are only recently paying attention to. They slow down or crash the computer, or just make it simply unusable. An increasing number of Point-of-Sale computers now come under spyware attack, a trend which translates to incalculable loss in profit to those it affects.

Prevention is better than cure. Learn about how to protect your computer investment from spyware and related infections. READ MORE
