AdWare, Spyware, and Viruses
While browsing the internet it is very easy for your computer's browser to pick up malicious software that can not only result in lost data, but also hijack your computer. If you notice that your computer is running particularly slow, there is a good chance that some nasty software is running behind the scenes. In order to protect your computer and your data files, it is vital that you have updated anti-virus software installed. In addition, there are a number of free software products very helpful at hunting down and eliminating adware and spyware.
Anti-virus software usually requires a monthly fee in addition to the costs of the software. MacAfee and Norton are two well-known options for antivirus protection.
Two free products that
won't
protect against viruses, but will help you clean out adware and spyware are Ad-Aware and Spybot.
