Spyware and Adware Removal

Spyware and Adware gather information about a person without their knowledge, relaying it to advertisers or other parties. Spyware can get in a computer as a software virus or as the result of installing a new program.

Some spyware is a harmless nuisance, tracking a person as they surf the internet. Often times, the user is bombarded with many pop-up windows containing advertisments. Other spyware is potentially more harmful, capturing a user's keystrokes (passwords, etc.) and transmitting them to the spyware author. Viruses and spyware can, in the worst case, lead to identity theft.
