Free Spyware Removal

Among the growing threats on the internet today are spyware, or programs that enter your computer when you visit certain web sites. Imagine, you didn't click or run any program. You simply surfed and got your PC infected. Fortunately, there's a free spyware removal tool for you.

How do you know if you have spyware? You open your Internet Explorer browser one day and you see some strange web site as your new homepage. Even if you change the default homepage, you keep seeing that weird site each time you open your browser.

That's called browser hijacking and it's usually done by spyware.

Some web sites have certain codes that exploit the weaknesses of your web browser. That's why they are able to silently sneak certain programs into your hard disk while you're surfing.

What exactly are these programs spying on? They're spying on you and your web activity -- which web sites you've been to, how long you visit, which products you buy online, and sometimes, what you type in online forms.

Who wants to surf and keep an eye out for these malicious programs? Not me. I mean, you're out there surfing for information and you still have to watch out for strange web activity that intrudes on your privacy?

Fortunately, there's Spywareblaster.

(NOTE: If you already have another free spyware remover, please don't disregard Spywareblaster. It helps to have more than one anti-spyware tool, because these tools are not perfect. Some can detect and block certain kinds of spyware, while other tools handle other types of spyware.)
