KEEP YOUR COMPUTER SAFE FROM SPYWARE

Is your computer running slow, have you seen new things on your desktop.
When you do a Ctrl alt del do you find funny programmes.
If so you may have been infected by spy and or ad ware when surfing.
When you visit pages on the internet your computer receives a "cookie" from the site in most cases this cookie is harmless you get one from this site I didnt put it into your computer your computer did this is normal behaviour as it allows you to revisit that site quicker the second time. However some sites especially sites letting you download for free use their cookies in a different way (well someone pays). These put programmes in your computer that monitor your internet use and send back information about your site visits etc.
These are NOT always detected by your protection as you have allowed them by visiting the site, note they are not viruses.These adware and spyware are not a real threat except they slow down your internet to a halt. However the solution is easy. there are two ways.
One) delete your cookies. Right Click IE and on General tab delete cookies. Gets rid of most of them. Snag you have to retype your web addresses.
Two) get a free program ie. Spybot very efficient (If kept uptodate)or similiar "Hyjack" the professionals use.You would be surprised whats under the stone sorry Harddrive.
