Has your PC been running slow lately? icy and often shocking. I bet it has something to do with those songs you downloaded, it could be that porn site you were on; while the wife was shopping. I hate to break it to you, but your PC has contracted spyware. Most people think that someone is hacking into their system, putting spyware on their PC. In fact, that is quite the opposite; spyware appeared on your PC, because it was invited. That’s right, the spyware didn’t crash the party and was invited by you, the host. I know what you’re saying, why would I put spyware on my PC?
Searching the Internet is like having unprotected sex; You never know what you may hire. When searching the Internet, be sure to use spyware protection. If you’re not running a spyware program on your PC while you’re browsing the Internet, you’re doomed. The most dangerous sites are music downloads and porn sites. If you visit these types of sites regularly; Without spyware protection, you’re asking to be hit over the head with some spyware. Some of these sites are full of harmful spyware, just waiting to jump on board and infect your PC. Believe it or not, 95% of the computers that surf the Internet are infected with spyware.

Don’t let this happen to you, get your PC back. The first thing you should do is scan your PC for spyware. Some spyware sites offer free spyware scans, so you can detect whether or not you have spyware. Once you find out that you have spyware on your system, it’s time to install a spyware program.

It is vital that you keep your program up to date; a good program will inform you of updates. Having outdated spyware on your PC is like not having any at all. If you’re going to download music, get it from a trusted source. I only use music programs that have spyware tools; like Napster, Rhapsody and eMusic. These sites have been around for a while; and have spyware tools to safeguard your PC. Remember to use protection and happy browsing.
