Computer Seems Slower........You didn't name this....
Spyware and adware are programs that are installed on
your computer
surreptitiously. They get onto your computer when you
install various software programs, such as Kazaa, or by
visiting some Web sites. Then they send information about
you, such as your surfing habits, from your
computer through the Internet or deliver pop-up ads.
Since these programs run in the background, they eat up
system resources and slow your computer down. To remove
these programs you can do the following:
Run a virus scan with an up-to-date antivirus software
package such as Norton's, McAfee's or AVG Free Antivirus
to make sure that the spyware is
the only problem slowing your computer down.
Download a copy of either Spybot Search and Destroy or Ad-
aware, which will identify and eliminate most of the
spyware and adware programs.
Download a pop-up stopper/blocker. Google offers a free
toolbar that has a built in pop-up blocker that works
about 95 percent of the time.
