Computer running slow? Exhibiting strange behaviour? We advise that you have the following programs installed:- 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.
Keeps your personal information safe from password theft, keyloggers, spyware, trojans and other potential identity theft. Erases tracks left behind while surfing the Web, on browsers such as Internet Explorer, Opera and Firefox, in one easy click. Covers different sorts of harmful Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers that can be placed on your computer by unwanted fiends!
While no selection of Software can guarantee that you will not get spyware/adware on your computer, these 3 pieces of software will help to minimize the potential issues you may encounter. Be sure to keep your computer system software up-to-date with Windows Update and Software Update on the Mac. It is also wise to make sure that you are using current anti-virus software such as AGV Antivirus to minimise the threat of virus attacks. AGV is free and is good in the way that it is easy to run and does not put a lot of stress on your system resources. Here is a free online virus checker that will scan your computer for virus threats.
Please note that the above spyware and virus protection packages are not the product of Get-Wired. The above advice is current at the time of creating the website. |
