How To Protect Your Computer From Spyware

Do you spend a lot of time shopping online? Have you ever visited a site you wouldn't tell your mom about? What about perfectly reputable sites to look up your favorite sports scores or stock quotes?

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, chances are your computer has some form of Spyware, Malware or, even worse, a Virus working its way through your system. Normally, you don't notice these "infections" until they have managed to get into every crack and crevice of your computer's hard drive. First, you might notice some web pages don't load as fast as they used to. Then, you start noticing those little Google ads on the side start displaying ads for products that aren't mentioned on the page you're on. But, they are something you might buy or have bought in the past. Finally, it starts taking forever to load the simplest of programs. It's not just effecting web pages any longer. It's effecting your entire computer.

That's Spyware at work!

It's Not THAT Bad

Now, you may be thinking, "I can handle a little slow down here and there. It's not a big deal. My computer is fast!" The thing is, it only gets worse over time. Eventually, unless you do something to protect your computer, everything you do on your computer will come to a crawl because that Spyware is constantly watching what you're doing and sending that information back to its creator.

Your computer needs to see a doctor. Now.

You could have done more to protect your computer from Spyware by not going to those web sites that implanted the Spyware on your computer in the first place, but the reality is, Spyware and Malware are everywhere. It is nearly impossible to avoid them.

Your only real solution is to get some software that will protect your computer from the Spyware, Malware and Viruses (I looked it up. It's not virii in reference to the plural form of a computer virus).

What About FREE Software?

You could download a free Anti Spyware or AntiVirus program to protect your computer from spyware, but those are rarely really free. Usually you get a 15 or 30 day trial and then you have to pay to continue to use the program. You're probably thinking, "There must be lots of free programs out there. I'll just install one, use it for 30 days, install a new one. Then rinse and repeat forever."

The problem is these free Anti Spyware programs usually do not do more than one thing very well to protect your computer from Spyware and they are usually slow to be updated. You need software that will deal with all of the infectious possibilities the internet has to offer all the time. Spyware is not something you give time to dig itself in.

By now, you should be asking, "How Do I Protect My Computer From Spyware?" The only true solution is to get some Anti Spyware software that has:

  • Comprehensive Malware Protection

  • Constant Real-time Protection

  • Advanced Detection and Removal Technology

  • Protection against zero-day threats

  • Advanced Rootkit Detection (Rootkits hide themselves deep in your computer's operating system)

  • Works silently in the background with low CPU usage (to keep your computer running fast)

  • Automatic and silent Smart Updates

Oh, and if it has won any awards? That would be a major plus.


Luckily, PC Tools has developed such a program to protect your computer. Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 2009 does everything you need it to do to protect your computer from Spyware, Malware and Viruses. And, it has won at least 9 awards between 2006 and 2008. That's a very good run for any kind of software. Not just Anti Spyware software.
