Protect Your Windows PC - Essential Preventative Maintenance Spyware (Adware and Popups)

Overview Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover and often gets installed without you realizing by installing shareware programs or visiting 'suspicious' web sites. Spyware can cause pop-up adverts to appear, track your surfing habits, abuse your Internet connection by sending this data to a third party, hijack your browser start page and other web pages, alter important system files, and do all this without your knowledge or permission.
