How Spyware And The Weapons Against It Are Evolving

Spyware has reached epidemic proportions and is only getting worse. Recent statistics indicate that approximately 95% of the world’s PCs are infected with some form of spyware. Unfortunately, removal techniques that worked just a couple of months ago are no longer effective in many cases and new types of spyware being released are more advanced than most computer viruses.

A couple of years ago, the worst thing that could happen to you while surfing the Internet was to get bombarded by pop up ads. Lately though, I feel like all I do is clean spyware. I have spent countless hours removing spyware from computers belonging to friends and family, only to have it re-appear a few days later. I try to help as many people as I possibly can, but the spyware problem has reached epidemic proportions and is only getting worse. Find out here why the spyware problem has gotten so out of hand and more importantly, what you can do about it.
