Virus - Spyware Removal

Do you suspect your computer has been infected with spyware?

It is estimated that almost 90% of all computers connected to the internet are infected with spyware

We can perform any or all of the following to restore the computer to perform as good as new.

• Security scan of all files and free anti-virus software installation
• Operating system reload with all updates applied
• Restore programs with customer provided discs
• Restore all files including music, pictures and documents 

Some signs that your computer is infected with spyware.

Home page is changed? Did you ever find that your home page was changed, or discover new sites in Favorites that you didn't add? It could be spyware.

More advertising? Did you install a popup blocker but you are still getting popups? The ads you are getting may not be from the web site you are on, but from spyware.

Reduced performance? Spyware uses up system resources, CPU time, memory, disk space, and Internet bandwidth, making your system slower

Why don't most anti virus utilities block spyware?

The short answer is "spyware is not a virus." Webopedia defines a virus as "A program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes." Spyware takes advantage of the fact that people click "I Agree" to most software licenses without actually reading them.
