Answer 4

Spyware can do multiple things to your computer, including slowing down your internet speed. People can hack into your personal account information from spyware on your computer. This may lead to identity theft, loss of information, and, quite rarely, complete destruction of all of your information. I highly suggest getting an anti-virus and an anti-spyware program. AVG Free Version 8.0 and Spybot Search and Destroy are both free and reliable. Scan often with these and review any dangers they find. Good luck!
