Spyware and Spamware are the newest Internet threats. Simply by surfing the Net and opening web pages your company is susceptible to unsolicited downloads of Spyware. Its purpose is to gather information about your shopping habits and to redirect your searches to specific web sites that sell products ranging from travel to porn. The download process is invisible.

90% of business computers we examined in June 2004 had some form of Spyware on it. The effect on your computer varies from a slight decrease in performance to an unstable computer that runs extremely slow and exhibits "pop ups" without accessing the Internet.

Help is on the way! Take advantage of the free downloads to protect your systems!

Spybot Search and Destroy v 1.3 (4.15MB) www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html Choose download here and follow with download now on the next page. Be patient, the download process can take awhile because the site is very busy. Occasionally you may need to choose one of the other download sites listed. Accept all the defaults including the registry backup, search for updates, and immunize this system. After several steps you will be prompted to "start using the program". Choose check for problems. The process takes about five minutes. When it is complete you will see a list of the Spyware on your computer. The number of files will usually range from five to one hundred. Choose fix problems. If Spybot was unable to remove any it will ask you if it can automatically run when you reboot.

Ad-Aware v 6 (1.7MB) can be downloaded at lavasoft.element5.com/support/download/
Choose the white and green download.com button at the top right corner of the screen. Choose download now to start the process. Patience is again a virtue (it is free software after all!). After downloading the install will begin. Accept the defaults and the installation process should take less than one minute. Double click in the red Ad-Aware icon on your desktop. Choose start now and accept the default settings. After the scan is complete you will be presented with a list of items to select for deletion. Put a check mark in each box on the left side for ALL entries. Press next to start the removal. These tools do not damage your operating system and will occasionally compete with each other and remove each other's software. Big Deal…let's get rid of the Spyware!
