Spyware

The FullNet Customer Service department recommends the use of the free (for non-commercial use only) program, "Ad-Aware Personal SE," to clean your system of malicious software (malware, aka spyware). Spyware is often the cause for an unwarranted system slowdown, constant pop-up advertisements, redirection from your home page, and other unusual computer problems.

Microsoft provides a great deal of information on their web site from which you can learn how to secure your computer against spyware. As of today, they have taken one step further in the offering of their free Microsoft AntiSpyware (Beta).

The release of this new product has inspired a great deal of online debate, not to mention a bundle of reviews from professional and amateur sources. One of the better articles calls its interface "...more friendly than Spybot..." and declares its scanning as "...quite effective..." finding malware "...that neither Spybot or Adaware had noticed." The article is worth a read and can be found here.
