Overview
Is someone watching every move you make on your computer? Do they know your every keystroke? Your login ids and passwords? Your credit card numbers? Your social security number? If there's Spyware or Adware on your computer, they likely do. Scared? You should be. If you're like most Internet users, you're probably infected with Spyware and Adware and you don't even realize it. Luckily, there's something that can be done about it.

What is Spyware/Adware?
Spyware and Adware are Malware programs. These programs allow their users to spy on your Internet browsing activities. In the most innocent form, these programs are intended to allow companies to observe your purchasing habits and send you "pop-up" ads when they deem appropriate. However, there are more malicious uses for Spyware and Adware, including the intent of identity theft. Spyware can contribute to identity theft by recording your credit card numbers and other personal information. And as if the threat of identity theft isn't enough, these Spyware and Adware programs can also cause your PC to crash.

How We Tested
We ran a random PC test on hundreds of computers, and do you know what we found? Every single PC we tested was infected with some form of Adware or Spyware. Most computers had multiple infections and some even had hundreds. It didn't matter whether or not these PCs had virus and firewall protection, they were still infected. Then we tested a number of Spyware and Adware removers and discovered which ones worked best.
