More than likely, you are infected with some form of spyware and you don't even know it. Individually, it's difficult to notice the negative effects of these infections. But one thing has always been certain. Once you get one, they start to breed and you get more and more until your computer either stops working or slows down to a crawl.

The anti-spyware and anti-virus business is a multi-billion dollar industry. They want you to get infected so that they can sell you their products to keep you clean. More often than not, your computer will get re-infected over and over again and you end up spending more time cleaning your computer than actually using it.

So, where do these nasty things come from?

Believe it or not, these days, 90% comes directly from your email and that email may even seem like its coming from a friend. You see a link in the email, click it and your infected. You get bored one day and start browsing the Internet for "whatever" and you inadvertantly come across an infected website. You were only there for a second, but it only took a fraction of that time to get infected.

There are many anti-spyware and anti-virus programs out there. There are millions of different types of infections. Some of these are easily removed while others persistently reinstall themselves over and over again. It's not always easy to remove these bugs, but it can be done.

The key is Prevention. Ever have someone clean your computer out? Did you ask how you were infected in the first place? Most techs want you to get re-infected. The average tech charges a flat rate for cleaning spyware and viruses out of a computer in NH and they charge big bucks to do it. I called around and got a few quotes averaging $150 - $250 dollars and they needed to keep the system for a few days. That's crazy and almost unethical. Give us a call and we will not only clean out your computer, we will teach you how to prevent it from happening again.
