Scary Spyware!

As immensely enjoyable as it is to be online the price we pay has gone up, way up, for that pleasure. For the ease of information, instant gratification, for the all knowing personal shopper, researcher, translator and match maker, we figured the transmission of our email address or IP address was a small token to pay.



I certainly felt that way in the beginning of this love affair with the internet. But like any relationship, the brand new glow ended a long time ago and now the I can clearly see the reality. The path of the long haul if you will. And it is a bit scary to me. The current name of that scary is Spyware!



Recently I started having major problems with my computer. I would be online doing the usual things like checking email or reading the news, then links I click on would take a long time to load. Eventually my computer screen would get the slow and choppy disease. You know: the blue loading line is barely moving in the address bar, the page is totally white because it is in between links and the mouse isn’t moving and you pray it doesn’t crash. Then it just crashes. I would go through that cycle 10 times a day. I ran my disk repair program but it wasn’t a hardware problem. Then I realized that in the midst of all that transmitting and downloading, my computer may have been compromised by spyware.



I immediately starting looking for a spyware remover. A certain indignation came over me as I searched for my spyware remover aka adware remover.



How dare they! Whomever ‘they’ were. I thought about what was being done to my computer, what information had been compromised. I felt that something was sucking the life off my hard drive, had copied all my files and was monitoring my online movements. I finally found the removal program and ran it on my computer. There were numerous spyware detected and removed from my system and the problems stopped. I learned my lesson. I decided that ‘they’ was really ‘me’.



I knew about spyware but didn’t guard against it even though I was online a lot. I was aware of the risk and ignored it then but not now. I guard my information and I run my spyware detection and remover program frequently. You should too.
