Get rid of Spyware
Spy ware is a technology that assists in gathering information about a person or an organization without their knowledge
On the internet spyware is programming that is put in someone’s computer (hard disk) to secretly gather information about the users surfing behavior and sells this information and e-mail addresses to advertisers or other interested parties.
Our helpdesk is very busy these days, most of the complaints are; computer is very slow or it takes a long time to download mail.
When a sufficient amount of spyware (tracking software) has entered someone’s hard disk it become virtually impossible to do simple things like sending an e-mail or retrieving e-mails
Most of the spyware can be easily removed with a program called AdAware and I would like to recommend scanning on a daily basis.
Especially if the computer user makes use of free sites like hotmail or kazaa or when you click on a pop-up
There is however also SPYWARE which is much more aggressive. The new scourge of the online world is a particularly nasty form of spyware, called kreugerware. Once installed on the unsuspecting user's computer, the program will gather information on users as they surf the Net.
Like other spyware programs, kruegerware can annoy Web users by replacing the starting page of their Web browser with an unfamiliar site and bombarding them with pop-up ads — usually for pornographic material.
But unlike common spyware, say experts, kruegerware contains extremely complex coding that allows the programs to avoid detection by defensive "anti-spyware" programs. And much like conventional computer viruses, some particularly robust strains of kruegerware even contain routines that will automatically reinstall the malicious programming if it has been removed from an infected PC..
To fix this problem we sometimes have to take drastic measures like reformatting the computer and this has to be done by professionals. I have said this time and time over in this world nothing is FREE so if you use any free service on the net pls be aware of the possible concequenses
For our members CuraNet has put the AdAware program on its site in order to make it easier for you to obtain this program. Just click on the link below.
