Most people never realize that their computer is infected with spyware and adaware. What they do notice is that it is running a lot slower than it used to. Slow boot times or waiting forever for programs to open and start can be very annoying. Ever get so annoyed you want to smash your computer with a hammer?

Almost all computers will get infected with spyware at one time or another. If you download programs off the internet they will sometimes come bundled with spyware. That cool looking screen saver you just downloaded may contain a hidden program that is collecting your info. Spyware can record keystrokes, keep records on what sites you visit and even find your user names and passwords.

All this info may be collected for a period of time then sent off to someone to be used against you. They can then steal your identity, clean out your bank account or buy new furniture for their home on your credit. It happens all the time. In mild cases of infection you may be getting screen freeze ups, pop ups or strange programs starting up when you boot your computer or surf on line, ever have your homepage set to something you did not want? Ever notice your computer is working hard even when you are not using it?

If you have any of these symptoms it would be wise to scan and clean your computer. So the next decision you need to make is what software to invest in, With so many programs out there what one really works? Do you go with a free version? You can use free software but they do not do a thorough job. In fact they are designed that way.

If you want to test that for yourself, download a free version of a spyware adaware cleaner and run a scan. It found a bunch of stuff, great. Now download another free program and run a scan, it found more the first one did not, great. Download a third and you will most likely find more. So is your computer clean now? You will never be sure.

Why not invest in a good professional version of a top scanner and cleaner and have peace of mind knowing your computer is completely clean and protected from future attacks. Running a scan for the first time may shock you with the amount of garbage that has collected on you computer. After you re-boot your computer you will notice an increase in speed and performance, in fact it will run like it did the day you bought it. No more programs running in the background using up your computers resources.
