Spyware Removal

Spyware has become one of the major contributors to causing your computer to slow down, especially on the internet and in many ways mimics a virus.      Spyware is a program installed on your computer when visiting certain sites and especially sites that offer free screen savers,  cool tool bars and other free stuff you may be enticed to download and install.  Our best advice is to not install any of these programs on your computer to begin with.  In some cases you are not required to download anything and you will still end up with spyware.

Spyware programs track where you go on the internet, what you view on the internet and what you purchase on the internet.  This information is compiled and sold to vendors that sell the particular products you have viewed or purchase and they then target you with endless spam to purchase their products.  How do they get your email address you say ?  Remember the free download and the requirement for you to give that site your email address so they could send you the link for downloading their cool screensaver ?

The professional software we use to remove spyware from your computer recognizes over 175,000 different footprints or known spyware programs.  The program goes through every folder and file on your computer and quarantines the spyware and eventually removes it from your computer. Once removed, we will supply you the names of high quality free and commercial spyware products we recommend you use on your computer to keep it free of spyware.  If you like, we will install the software for you. 

Free Spyware products generally work well on spyware they are aware of, but do not employ the large database that commercial software supplies and keeps current through constant updates when new Spyware is discovered circulating on the internet.  Yes, you have to pay a annual fee for good quality commercial software, but trust us,  if your computer crashes because of spyware, you will pay much more to fix the problem then you would have to purchase the software to begin with, not to mention the potential data loss.
