How Do You Remove Spyware From Your Computer - The 2 Best Free Methods

When you surf the web, visiting various sites, some of them will inevitably install traking software, known as spyware. Sometimes spyware is installed onto your computer through clicking the wrong ads or installing freeware. There are many methods and although the majority of spyware is pretty much harmless. It is still an infringement of your privacy.

Spyware is for the most part, a huge market research tool and has merely evolved from the days of you being stopped in the street by someone with a clipboard, asking you a dozen questions in the rain.

However, some spyware is not quite so harmless once it is on your computer, it is capable of tracking and relaying very important and sensitive information about your private life, this sort of spyware you really do want to remove from your computer. You will have a good idea whether you have been infected with it by your pc doing strange new things. Redirecting off to new web pages automatically, new home pages, mysterious programs and popups. These are to name but a few of the more well known signs.

The two best free methods for removing spyware off of your home computer are as follows.

Using the system restore utility in your system tools folder is a great way to rid yourself of unwanted spyware. By choosing a save point a month or so earlier than when your pc started playing up, should do the trick. Just make sure you save any wanted data first. The process acts almost like a time machine and can have a profound effect on unwanted spy or adware.

The real no questions asked way to deal with spyware, and this is more often than not, a far better method than most paid programs. Is to reformat and reinstall your operating system. This does sound like a real nightmare for most people but most of the installation is automatic, requiring little more than a few clicks of the mouse. It would take no more than a few hours and by the end of it, your computer will not only be free from spyware, it will also be a lot faster.
