Adware and Spyware Parasites
Adware and Spyware are basically just
parasites on your computer. They are unsolicited commercial
software. In other words your didn't ask for them.
Many of them show up as tool bars enhancements
or handy software to store all of your numerous passwords.
Most of them actually have some value (this is debatable). A
lot of these you probably downloaded knowingly because of
their ability to "make your computer run faster" or
"provide a better way to search the web." Do these
sound familiar? Were you duped into downloading one of
these "tools?"
Here are some of the more popular ones. THIS
IS BY NO MEANS A COMPLETE LIST. There are 100s!

How did you get one of these on to your
computer? Probably you visited a free PC desktop theme site or
a free wallpaper site. Just about any download that you do on
the web can have one of these "wrapped" parasites
transferred to your desktop with the original download.

Have you noticed your computer running slower than ever?
