Squash Spyware With Spybot

Safer Networking’s Spybot is a wonderful free utility for the detection and removal of Adware and Spyware. Spyware is malicious software that covertly installs on your system for the purpose of gathering personal information and violating the confidentiality of your data. Spyware can surreptitiously reveal financial information like credit card numbers, record keystrokes and track system usage trends of the victim. Adware uses a similar framework but for the less harmful (yet more annoying) goal of serving advertisements en masse. Adware can result in altered home pages and search results as well as pop-up advertisements and SPAM.

Spybot can remove known malware of this nature and help immunize your system from future infections. Malware scans should always be run in conjunction with virus scanning.
