Do you have a Virus?

Viruses and spyware can cause severe problems such as, identity theft, data loss, and computer crashes.

What is Spyware?

Spyware is computer software that is stealthy installed on a personal computer to intercept or take partial control over the user’s interaction with the computer. While the term spyware suggests software that secretly monitors the user’s behavior, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring.

Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software or accessing websites blindly that will cause additional damage. Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs.
