Do you really need spyware cleaners? Absolutely!
As spyware was created by multi-million dollar companies, spyware cleaners have been made by other multi-million dollar companies. Spyware wasn’t made for fun by a teenage hacker; it was made to monitor which websites you visit, so these multi-million dollar companies can market their products to you.
Try this: go to Google.com and type in a word you have never typed in before. Such as Antarctica vacation, Greenland vacation, shoes made in Alaska, or something of this nature. Then watch the ads as you continue to surf the net and watch your skunk mail—I mean your junk mail and see how many offers you get for vacations in Greenland. Or whatever you typed in.
Spyware is everywhere—hey, that rhymes—there is no getting away from it. The best we can do is use spyware cleaners and keep cleaning it off our computer systems. It depends on how much you surf the net as to how often you should clean your computer system. The more you surf the more you clean.
Some spyware resides as cookies (small text files), some are executable (.exe) and some get written to your registry (the keeper of files on your operating system)
Spyware gets on your computer system through junk mail, legitimate programs, and sometimes just visiting a website can infect your system. I will cover all the types of spyware in other posts.
This one is the most dangerous. The identity and security spyware, most of them are called key loggers. They make a copy of all your key strokes and then send the information to the person who put the program on your system. And they can get all your personal information including bank numbers, credit cards numbers, and anything else you have typed.
Now why am I telling you this—because you can stop them. If everyone in the world puts a spyware cleaner program on their computer system and sets it up to run every time they turn their computer on—spyware makers will have a hard time keeping spyware on your system. So there! Take that you pesky little spyware makers.
It doesn’t matter what spyware cleaner you use—as long as you use one! Anyone!
Most of them are very good and it doesn’t matter if they cost $200 or $29 or free. As long as you use one—we can beat these buggers.
Stay tuned for my favorite spyware cleaners and a review of all spyware cleaners in the universe —well maybe not the universe, maybe just our world. And a couple other worlds.
