I'm sure we've all had warnings and warnings of ad ware and / or spy ware threatening to shut down our computers. The computer is one of the most important items to most people and protecting it should be something everyone should read more about. Most ad ware and spy ware programs are cheap and an efficient way to make sure your information is safe. Most of you are still probably asking the question.
What is ad ware and spy ware?
Ad ware is a virus like program that gets on to your computer and you will most likely be infected with pop-ups, banners, and ads. Spy ware is when your personal information is gathered from your computer. They generally both work together to scam you with advertisements saying something like "Your computer has been infected with ad ware, to fix this problem purchase our anti ad ware program". Ad ware will often be attached to programs you may have downloaded from shareware sites with the author trying to sell something to you.
So why protect my computer from ad ware and spy ware?
Well to tell you the truth spy ware is more dangerous than ad ware because it gathers your personal information, which can be used to scam you and send spam to your email address. Ad ware on the other hand is primarily just a nuisance, which is constantly producing pop-ups on your screen. It will not shut down your computer but it will slow it down and more and more pop-ups will occur over time.
