How do I get rid of spyware? I am often posed this question by many
people, including friends, and many of the people at work. See, I have
somewhat assumed an IT roll at my job, and I optimize computers in my
spare time. With the entire internet surfing we do today, you are
likely to have a bunch of spyware on your computer. I will explain
what you need to do to get rid of the spyware.
First, let's understand what spyware does. Spyware is basically a
technology, which attempts to gather information about a company,
organization, or person, and transmit, or send this information to a
3rd party. This will give them information about your computer, and
the websites you have visited. Some of the spyware can track your
keystrokes, and send this information to a website. Pretty scary
stuff, but there is a way to protect you.
If you run a spyware removal utility, this will get rid of the
spyware. This will also help to speed up the computer slightly, as
there will not be other programs potentially running in the
background. But, spyware removal is not enough. There is spyware out
there, which will hijack your computer in certain areas. They will add
favorites to your browsers, change a home page, and even try to
contact other websites every hour. They sometimes even manage to
change the way a search utility is used. And they do this by getting
into your registry files, and changing these....

Those are the REAL answers, you poser. Please cease posting your totally
WRONG advice and what appears to be advertising for your own crap that I am
CERTAIN will do much to wreck a Windows system and can't possibly remove all
malware.

You are a sham and worse. Please arrange to have your rectum reamed at the
earliest opportunity. It needs it, seeing as you're so full of sh* t.
