Spyware the Silent Enemy

Answering yes to any of these questions means that there is a chance that the computer is infected with spyware. This is regardless of who has used the computer or what sites have been visited. Adware and Spyware is attacking any and all computers online.

Currently up to 80% or more of computers connected to the internet with dial up, cable or DSL have a huge chance of being target and infected with adware or spyware.

The internet users most at risk are those that are looking for free downloads from music and file sharing programs or what is called peer to peer. If any one using the computer has either downloaded or even just visited any of these file sharing sites the computer has just doubled its chances of being infected.

There is a very easy solution to this growing problem and as people become more and more aware of spyware and the damage it can do to a computer they will be looking to install a simple spyware removal program when they purchase a computer. Some consider their anti-virus is enough to protect them but are sadly mistaken and are left wide open to attack from this internet menace. Others say that a firewall will protect, but have all been infected due to clicking on unknown links and programs and inviting these malicious programs to install onto there computers.
