Hi Nvk,

Spyware and Malware is software made by publishers that allow them to snoop on your browsing activity, invade your privacy, and flood you with those horrible popups. If you are like most users on the internet, chances are you are probably infected with these applications.

A recent survey concluded that approx 91% of people are infected and don't know it. Here's a brief list of some of the things that it does:

* All information you enter via the web can be intercepted

* Email, Credit Card and Banking Online details can be captured  without you knowing

*Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your Internet favorites

*Your browsing activity can be tracked and monitored

*Unauthorized sites can add themselves to your desktop (icons)

*Unwanted toolbars and search bars can infect your browser without your approval

*Your personal information can be sold to others without your knowledge or consent

*Your default Internet homepage and settings can be hijacked so you can't change them

*It basically maliciously invades your PC and slows down your PC big time!

There's a good chance you are infected if:

You have downloaded music online

Your PC is running extremely slow

You are pestered by those horrible popup ads

Your Internet homepage keeps changing

Your Internet browsing has become slower

Your files/programs take a long time to run

You can fix your desktop & screen saver setting by running something like PC detox complete over at http://www.TreatYourPC.com

Hope this answers your question.

Dear friend,

I would like to answer your question keeping our society in view. When lot of police is there to safeguard its people from unlawful people, but why then people with wrong intention succeed in their plans to deteriorate the society. Sameway, you may have a good anti virus software but yet unlawful people try to invent several ways to affect your PC adversely through their immoral practices.

Hi

when spywares were in ur system then spreading up of virus will become common then you must check ur system completely once and if u have a good antivirus then u can clear all the viruses.  

The spyware should be removed using antispyware a separate one and remove that if you have.

all the best.

Answer 5
