How to Delete Spyware

1. Run a dependable spyware removal software weekly. There are many easy to download programs available at no cost to the user on the Web. Go to www.download.com for good information about the various programs. Also, go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ for other programs that are also sound, free and easy to download.
2. Consider supplementing a free download software for a high standard purchased product. Up-to-date and effective, the higher quality purchased products not only purge your computer of spyware, they also prevent spyware from ever entering your computer again. What's more, many will also protect your computer from so-called adware, malware, keyloggers, Trojan horses and browser hijackers.
3. Search for updated versions of the higher standard purchased products you've already downloaded.
4. Promise yourself that you'll never again complete an on-line survey, or other get-rich-quick scheme. Not only will these "surveys" result in an avalanche of spam, they will also embed spyware into your computer.
5. Only open email from a known source, especially when opening an attached file. It only takes one mistake to turn your computer into a doorstop.
