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.Most of these programs do virtually nothing to wreak 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.Most free virus scanners do nothing to stop spyware.Most free scanners do very little to protect your computer.  Read a bit more about some popular threats at on this Remove Virtumonde site or this Trojan Vundo site.  Both sites provide some good detail on spyware and how it affects your computer.

There are plenty of free ways to see if you are infected with a virus or spyware and that is to use a free trial program.  I’m not talking about using a junk client.  Check out the sites highlighted above for a free trial of Spyware Doctor.We really like this program.  It constantly wins awards and is normally rated 5 out of 5 by most experts.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.

Once the scan is done use your favorite search engine and do some reasearch to see how bad a threat this is.  If you see a cookie as an infection and chances are you will don’t worry about it.You do not have to worry about these at all because they pose no harm to your computer.

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.
