Discovery and Removal of Malware Intruders (Spyware And Adware)

By: Isaiah Henry

Malicious software spyware and adware detection and removal are easier said than done. Unless an individual is computer savvy, the unsolicited problems leach onto some other download and the user is none the wiser.

Spyware removers and adware removal does not have to cost anything for the computer user. However, the programs are necessary to protect private information and the laptop or desktop itself. Spyware and adware are not simply a pain in the neck like junk mail or spam; the software can literally ruin lives.

Well, what can Internet users do to defend themselves against spyware and malware? The good news is that there are reliable programs. But on the other hand, sometimes the fix is too painful.

For example, last week I downloaded such a program for free. This program was supposed to protect me. When I ran it, quite naturally it discovered millions of threats. But to my surprise, the free lunch ended here, because the program asked to upgrade to the full version (which was $50), if I wanted the pests removed. What a blackmail!

But this was not all. I closed the program but even then it continued to nag me with messages such as �somebody might be spying you�, �there is an identity theft risk for you� and similar. This was pretty annoying but still it didn�t make me pay for the full version. Instead, it convinced me that the solution was to delete the program.

Ha! What a surprise! I couldn�t uninstall it because my access was denied! This drove me mad � was this my computer or was this the program�s computer? Who had the right to decide what to install and uninstall � me or the program? Eventually I found the solution � restoring the system to a point prior to the moment when I installed this stupid program.

After this nasty experience, I was determined to find a reliable spyware and adware detection and removal program. I tried many programs and I liked Ad-aware best. I can�t afford to spend much money and because of this it is not a problem that the free version they offer is from last year. In addition to the free version, Ad-aware offers Pro and Plus versions. Their prices are quite reasonable and I believe they have additional features and scan more types of files.

In my case only restoring the system to a cleaner state was the fix I needed. For me the most unpleasant was that this program was just what one should watch out for when downloading freeware and any other software. It turned out that it costs less to buy a reliable spyware and adware detection and removal program, then to expect help from freeware.

Finally, if you are a heavy Internet user, you can�t go without a reliable good spyware and adware detection and removal program. No matter how careful you are, if you don�t have the adequate protection, sooner or later you will get infected, if you don�t have a program to watch out for pests.
