How to Stop Adware?

Posted by billspaced | 11:06 PM | 0 comments »

Adware is something that you would personally call, “a real pain in the neck!” If you have been using the internet for a while now, you probably have come across dozens or hundreds of Adware over time. If you haven’t, you must be very lucky. But if you are reading this article, I’m sure that your PC is suffering from Adware or Spyware. Spyware is simply the worst case scenario of Adware where your personal information is also leaked out. It's worse than a virus!

Adware simply installs itself into your PC and starts throwing up unwanted ads, popups and banners. If your computer is running weird, then it’s not the Adware. It's bad. They are called spyware and malicious scripts. They can be deadly for your computer.

It usually gets into your machine when you install a free program like a shareware. Shareware programs are usually where you find these kinds of Adware. There's always a catch behind sharewares... The catch is that they get your attention for free in the form of popups and ads. It’s a clever marketing trick, but it’s not clever anymore. It’s just a pain. Of course if you had a real time security like AdwareAlert, it usually detects these stuff and removes them.

Even some of the more popular softwares tend to install adware like Zango, AOL messenger, Zango, Gator, Weatherbug etc... This shows that even though Adware maybe legit, it’s not nice!

The easiest way to get rid of adware is to prevent it getting in in the first place! Don't install things that say FREE all the time. You should know that. Nothing in this world comes free.

Yet, no matter how protective you maybe, few of them just get right through, and it can be close to impossible when trying to remove it. There are special security softwares for these cases that help remove all kinds of adware, spyware and malicious scripts. Read my best antispyware program for more information.
