Spyware can attack anyone who visits
corrupt websites, clicks on deceptive pop-ups or views a spam
email message–simply put, if you're online, you're at risk.
Anti-Spyware Software helps you control unsolicited marketing
and hidden tracking devices on your PC. This site provides a

Are
you receiving to much SPAM email?
Spam is a flooding the Internet with
many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the
message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it.
Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products,
get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the
sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by
the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.

Are
You Infected with a Virus?
A virus is a parasitic program
written intentionally to enter a computer without the users
permission or knowledge.
The word parasite is used because a virus attaches to files or
boot sectors and replicates itself, thus continuing to spread.
Though some virus's do little but replicate others can cause
serious damage or effect program and system performance. A virus
should never be assumed harmless and left on a system.
A functional definition of a computer virus must include the fact
that it creates damage to the computer system
"infected"; either inadvertently or deliberately.
We all use computers and that is a good reason to become aware of
computer viruses and the precautions to take to keep from being
infected. This site provides a directory of removal

Are
You Infected with Adware and Popups?
Adware or advertising-supported
software is any software application in which advertisements are
displayed while the program is running.
These applications include additional code that displays the
ads in pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer
screen.
Adware helps recover programming development costs, and helps
to hold down the price of the application for the user (even
making it free of charge)—and, of course, it can give
programmers a profit, which helps to motivate them to write,
maintain, and upgrade valuable software.
Some adware is also shareware, in that users are given the option
to pay for a "registered" or "licensed" copy,
which typically does away with the advertisements.
Some adware programs have been criticized for occasionally
including code that tracks a user's personal information and
passes it on to third parties, without the user's authorization or
knowledge. This site provides a directory of removal
