Is your computer running slow? Does it take a long time to boot up? Are you experiencing random program crashes and shutdowns? Are you afraid to turn on your computer because of annoying pop up advertisements that you have to close every 30 seconds?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are likely suffering from an invasion of spyware. And you are not alone. According to a recent survey by CNN, 90% of computers connected to the internet have some sort of spyware. Most people aren’t even aware of its existence until it is too late, and their computer barely runs.
Some computer users have upwards of 1000 different spyware infections, ranging from cookies to Trojan horses. Spyware can also range in danger levels. Some spyware simply track your browsing habits, while others have the ability to steal your personal information. Passwords and credit card information are among the targets of the worst spyware.
You don’t necessarily need to have downloaded anything to have spyware on your PC. Although the most common source of spyware are downloaded file sharing programs such as Kazaa and BearShare, spyware can also install itself directly from a web page. This is what is called a ‘drive by’ installation, and can happen in moments without notifying you.
So if you're asking "Why is my computer running so slow?" you're probably looking for a way to remedy the situation. So what can you do to get your computer running like new, AND protect yourself from would-be identity thieves? The solution is simple, thanks to advanced software that removes spyware automatically, and even prevents it from installing itself in the future.
One such program is ParetoLogic’s XoftSpySE.
