Spyware has become a big eThreat for our computer. It has gained the same importance as Virus has but it does not play with computer like Virus. Spyware is basically designed to steal the personal info from computer. Today, there are hundereds of thousands Spyware can be found on Internet. According to a research, over 1,000 Spyware are created every day.Similarly, AntiSpyware has the same importance like AntiVirus. Now a days, AntiVirus are able to detect and remove Spyware but it is advised to install a separate AntiSpyware alogwith AntiVirus. You can, even, install two AntiSpyware at same time in one computer.
Spybot – Search & Destroy©®:
Spybot – Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
Note: I recemmend it.
