of the Internet. These malicious programs may be installed in your computer
without your permission when you are surfing the Internet. The most common method of infection is

or web seach toolbars. They cause several innocuous
problems, including poor computer performance, slow internet access, and annoying popups. They

will actually track where you are going on the internet and even the information you type
into your computer, which could allow someone to steal your identity.
It is extremely important to protect your
computer from spyware and adware. Here is how to do it.
