Avoiding and Destroying Spyware!

The internet is a great wonder of the world, but unfortunately, it's also loaded with spyware, malware, and other harmful bits of code. This stuff is everywhere folks, there really is no way to avoid it 100% on your own, so you need anti-spyware software to help. There are tons of options out there, some free, others not. I'm here to help you spyware-proof your computer.

Tips to avoid spyware online
  • You MUST use anti-spyware software. You will simply not be able to avoid spyware on your own.
  • Be careful with peer-to-peer download sites. You should never download executable (.exe) files, as they are more likely to be harmful to your PC.
  • Never install any software without knowing exactly what it is and where it came from. It must come from a reputable source.
