program has been installed on your computer, possibly without your
knowledge. Spyware can gather information about your computer, send
information to advertisers, and pop up advertisements on your computer.
Solutions for preventing future problems.
- Make sure your anti-virus software is always up to date by
selecting its automatic update feature.
- Install the free Spybot Search & Destroy from http://www.safer-networking.org/.
