I have Spyware, now
what? |
| Once you have
determined that you have spyware on your computer, you will need to
download a anti-spyware program to clear your
computer of the malicious software.
Ad-Aware and
Spybot Search & Destroy are free anti-spyware programs you can
download from the internet.
The next time you renew your
anti-virus program you may want to check into upgrading your
software to include spyware protection. |
