PCStats have a new guide out! for Eliminating Spyware and Hijacker Software.
It's difficult to overestimate how big an issue parasite software (otherwise known as adware, spyware, malware, etc.) has become on the Internet. An unprotected computer used by a novice runs the risk of being infected mere minutes after a broadband connection to the Internet is formed. Sources of these pests include malicious web sites and email, software smuggled into your system alongside other 'free' programs and Trojan viruses opening portals to the Internet from within your PC. The term 'Spyware' can be broken down into several component types of parasitic software. These are programs that track your surfing habits and relay them to advertising companies, tailor clusters of pop-up ads to suit your web wanderings, even take over your web browser entirely. A spyware infestation can make using your PC on the Internet an exercise in frustration.
