Most computers had multiple infections and some even had hundreds. It didn't matter whether or not these PCs had virus and firewall protection, they were still infected.

What is Spyware/Adware?

These programs allow their users to spy on your Internet browsing activities.
In the most innocent form, these programs are intended to allow companies
to observe your purchasing habits and send you "pop-up" ads when they
deem appropriate.

However, there are more malicious uses for Spyware and Adware, including the intent of identity theft.

Spyware can play a part in identity theft by recording your credit card numbers and other personal information. And as if the threat of identity theft isn't enough, these Spyware and Adware programs can also cause your PC to crash.

PC Security — Combating Spyware

More than an annoyance. Poorly programmed spyware can interfere with other programs and can even cause system instability. Privacy issues are at stake
as well.

This type of software is often installed without a user's consent and often can't
be uninstalled without special tools. When distributors use tricks and deception
to install uninvited software, trust is destroyed.

The first line of defense is to be careful installing software. Know what's being downloaded. A large percentage of freeware or shareware programs have
spyware embedded in them. Sometimes that's disclosed in the user agreement,
but often not.

Before downloading any new software, look for guarantees that it's spyware free. Even so, be on your guard — the file-sharing program Kazaa has been claiming to
be spyware-free for years. Anyone who installs this software soon has an opportunity to test this claim.

How can you tell if you have spyware on your system? You may see pop-up advertisements even when you aren't browsing the web. Your homepage may
have been changed without your consent. New toolbars are installed on your
web browser which you didn't request. Your computer may be sluggish or mysteriously reboot on its own. Though, the last effect is usually a virus.

If you find your system bogged down with spyware, don't give up hope. There are several utilities specifically designed for removing spyware from your computer.

They rely on frequently updated databases which contain signature files of all known spyware and adware. They scan all the files on your hard drive and alert you if 'uninvited guests' are found.

Many are free, though sometimes the paid versions have more automation
features such as removing spyware on receipt rather than requiring a manual
scan. None will find every piece of spyware on your system, since they rely
on a database which has to be populated according to someone's judgment.
And, one man's spyware is sometimes another's welcomed advertiser.

Some Spyware is Notoriously Difficult
To Remove

They may make several alterations to your system settings and install files in different places. Often the only way to remove this type of spyware is to find
the locations of all the files and manually delete them.

Needless to say, this should be performed only by skilled users. Deleting the
wrong files can damage your programs and even your operating system.
One software tool that can help you remove difficult spyware is called
'HijackThis'. It creates a list of files which could have been altered with
spyware.

The list is very comprehensive and also includes system files and files
installed by legitimate software, so take care.

  • HijackThis wasn't designed to be a spyware removal tool, but it can be used to locate persistent and hard to remove spyware.
     
  • It requires knowledge of various system settings and you must be careful when changing them. Be careful with this!
     
  • It's possible to disable your system with the wrong setting. Fortunately, there's a community of HijackThis experts on the Internet willing to give
    free advice about suspicious entries.

Once your system is spyware free — help keep it that way. Some of the removal tools include utilities that can protect your computer from being exposed, much
like virus scanners, they monitor changes to your system files and alert you of
any suspicious activity.
