Eliminate Adware and Spyware

By: Gary Gresham

Everyone should eliminate spyware and adware from your hard
drive for your computer privacy protection. Spyware and adware
programs also slow down the speed of your computer by cluttering
your hard drive with annoying programs. Once you eliminate
adware and spyware, your computer speed will improve
immediately. Spyware compromises the security of your personal
information because the creators of these hidden programs can
get access to your desktop even while you are offline. Adware
creates annoying pop ups while you use the Internet. It can
change your home page and even hijack certain pages to display
their own messages, which are sometimes obscene. One of the most
effective ways to stop spyware and adware is the use of computer
firewall protection. These programs eliminate incoming spyware
and adware that is attached to the legitimate data that you
download when surfing the web. Some computer firewall protection
programs display the number of attempted 'hacks', which includes
any illegitimate programs or data: spyware, adware, or other
potentially harmful files such as viruses. It is not unusual for
computer firewall protection software to block hundreds of
'hacks' per day. Some users are more exposed than others to the
negative effects of spyware, adware, and viruses. One important
factor is the type of connection that your computer has to the
Internet. For example, DSL 'cable' connections are replacing the
old 'dial-up' connections that run over a household's normal
phone lines. With a DSL connection, your computer can be
connected to the Internet all day, every day. This increases the
likelihood of your computer becoming infected with spyware and
adware. With today's Internet, there's no such thing as too much
computer privacy protection. It's important to find and
eliminate spyware and adware from your hard drive because
computer security is as important as the lock on your front
door.
