Do you find that your computer has been running slower than normal?
Are you a little threatened that someone could break into your computer online and steal all your private data.
If so don't worry, we have all been there, about 12 months ago my computer began to run erratically and very slowly, that I had to go and buy a new computer.. or at least I thought so.
Then around a month later after using my PC extensively surfing the net, my new PC started to do the same thing, also many of my programs started not working correctly, also I started to notice that I had programs that I did not recognise were on my computer, this was the really worrying point.
I then new I had to find a solution to this problem, I mean were people really tracking my every move on the net, a slow computer OK, but being monitored was a big no no.
But you have to realise that if you have malware or spyware on your PC this is what can happen, they record every keystroke, online or off, can get into your valuable personal data and even steal your credit card details, or even bill expensive 900 numbers to your bill.
Millions of people worldwide are infected by malware and spyware, and don't even know it, what you have to realise is that when you use download sites for free games, music, screensavers etc, these are where a lot of these lurk, many people don't even know that even clicking on random pop up ads can infect your PC with adware or malware.
Whichever way we get them here are 10 reasons why you dont want them on your computer.
1. Many of your programs will not run correctly.
2.Your computer will start to run very slowly
3. You might be even having people reading your e-mails.
4.You will probably find unwanted programs on your PC
5.Someone might be able to access your e-mail list
6.Someone might be able to track your keystrokes you do everyday.
7.Your credit card information might be accessed and used fraudulently.
8.All the websites you visit could be being tracked by people who don't
have your permission
9.Important info like Social Security number might be stolen.
10. All your passwords for the sites you visit, could be stolen.
Also remember all these programs could be placed on your PC without your knowledge, and don't think that simply deleting these critters gets rid of them, because most times it doesn't.
The main thing to do is to get a spyware and malware detector, there are many of them on the market and some are better than others, join a few forums to find out which are best, but if you don't do anything else today, get yourself one of these now, you simply won't regret it, and will be astonished when you run it, often you will find hundreds of these on your PC, so get rid of them now.
