We've all seen it happen: you or someone you know has downloaded something from the internet that seemed harmless enough at the time. Next thing you know, the computer has slowed to a crawl. Pop-up advertising starts to appear out of nowhere. Private information gets sent to some company you've never heard of. And the worst part? Trying to uninstall the software sometimes makes the problem worse.
There's a battle raging on your computer right now to determine who owns your computer. Know thy enemy:
A virus is a self-replicating program that infects a PC and can cause anything from minor problems to permanent data loss. Spyware takes control of your computer and eavesdrops on your behavior without your knowledge or consent, exploiting you for commercial gain or to violate your privacy.
Even if you use anti-virus software and keep it regularly updated (which you should!) there are still some things those programs miss, or can only partially clean. We use several powerful automated and manual removal tools to ensure your system is truly virus and spyware free.
