Spyware Is Hiding In Your Computer!

Spyware & Adware - People think that there is actually no difference between a spyware and an adware.

Believe it or not, your computer might be infested with spyware, a hidden program (application) that can reveal important information about your computer & internet activities to other individuals and companies. Most of them use the information to understand your online buying behavior, but no one guarantees that your info can't be stolen or seen by other unauthorized people.

Your privacy is important and should be protected, so pay attention to what programs you download online and what terms you accept. Others are spying on your activities and you might not even know.

One of the BEST defenses against spyware is to download and run an Internet anti spyware application that identifies and removes those kind of programs from your hard disk.

NOTE: some spyware elements deny uninstallation unless the adware applications (programs containing banner advertising that contain spyware) are available on your computer.

The solution is to remove the application entirely, unless you really want to keep it for future use.

Here are 3 applications that contain spyware:

1. Alexa / ZBubble (usually is installed from www.alexa.com and www.microsoft.com)
