By Graham McKenzie

No PC user wants to own a computer that's running slow because it is clogged with adware and spyware. These malicious intruders into your computer cache can come to your PC from almost anywhere on the World Wide Web. They can attack your PC when you download a file you should not have downloaded, or when you click on a junk email. They sometimes enter your computer when you land on a malicious website. But regardless of how they get into your computer, adware and spyware waste no time sapping computer performance. Even worse, some programs email your personal financial information for criminal use, or they expose your PC to even more malicious software to cause your computer even more havoc. You simply have to protect your PC from both kinds of malicious software, and this removal method needs to protect you 24/7.

There are three key ways that an effective adware or spyware removal program will operate on your PC. They may scan everything you view on the net. This kind of software needs to use minimal memory and it needs to be on at all times. If you have to manually scan your hard drive every time you download something from the net?and nobody can?eventually you will let something slip through. The programs that protect your computer have to work 24/7.

Second, effective adware and spyware removal programs must regularly burrow deep into your files. If your PC is already infected with adware or spyware, these harmful programs could be almost anywhere on your hard drive. Even if you wer to have trouble finding them, they would have no compromising your computer security. An effective removal program scans every single file on your PC accurately, and scans it at least once a week. The best programs incorporate the latest definitions, updated once a week, and they never let adware or spyware in. Running an incomplete scan with an out-of-date definition simply won't do you any good.

The third and final characteristic of a good piece of adware and spyware removal software is filtering. Filters and definitions will stop you from visiting websites or, worse, opening malicious files. Integrated directly into your browser, these software options permit PC users to know whenever they encounter a website that has been blacklisted by other users. And they let you know when you arrive at a site listed potential problem by the software?s developers. The malicious website list not only utilizes a pre-existing database of bad sites, it also searches for signs of suspicious behaviors. Either way, it tells the browser to warn you before entering the site. It does the same scans on potentially malicious files.

Good anti-adware and anti-spyware programs protect your computer. They set up a defensive perimeter around your computer protecting it from adware and spyware. They guard your files and keep your PC virus and spyware free. - 30431
