One of the most common problems of surfing on the internet today is adware and spyware infection. These malicious softwares are the products of very dishonest people and companies to advertise and make money.
Adware is a very serious problem. It stands for Advertising Support software and is very harmful to your computer’s well being. The aim of adware is for it to pester you with annoying pop-up advertisements, in the hope that you’ll buy the products it’s promoting.
The publishers of adware and spyware softwares will have websites all over the internet with fake links all over them. You may go to any one of these sites, thinking they are perfectly ligit, and click on one of these links. When you do, though, you’re actually giving the “okay” for the adware and spyware to be installed onto your computer – they are all scammers.
When the adware and spyware has been installed (without your knowledge or consent) you’ll be seeing plenty of pop-up ads all the time. When you click the “x” button to close these annoying ads, you’ll be giving the publisher the “okay” to install more maliciouse malware and viruses onto your computer without even knowing. After a short while, your computer will start to open windows by itself, close windows by itself, freeze, crash and do all sorts of strange things.
Spyware goes hand in hand with adware and is also very harmful to your computer. The purpose of spyware is for it to spy on the patterns of your internet browsing. It’s publisher can the use this information to alter the types of advertisements that are popping up on your screen. For example, if you surf websites in the health and fitness genre, then you’ll get a lot of ads popping up that are aimed at selling you health and fitness products.
The worst thing about adware and spyware is that it not only tricks you into installing it (most of the time without your knowledge) but it takes up memory on your hard drive. This will slow down the performance of your computer, make using the internet a nightmare and eventually make your computer crash and you’ll lose all of your saved files for good.
If you think your computer is infected with adware and spyware then there are two things you can do. The first thing is to take it to your local electronics store to have someone repair it there. However, this’ll be quite expensive and will probably take about a week for them to do.
The second route you can go down is to download free anti-spyware and adware software from the net. This software will run a scan right through your entire hard drive and delete the malicious software from it (with your consent of course!) I would personally recommend that you download the software. It’s much cheaper (free!) and a heck of a lot faster too!
