How to Stop Spyware

First, we need to know what spyware is. Spyware is a type of malware that spys and steals information without the user knowing. There are many different forms of spyware, including adware, tracking cookies, trojans, keyloggers, stalkerware, stealware, and system monitors.

Spyware Prevention

Spyware prevention all begins with the user. Spyware is designed to be hard to spot, so always be careful with shady websites, links, or attachments. CLicking on one of these could download a spyware covertly. Downloading a pop-up blocker would also be a good idea, mainly because most ads are in the form of a pop-up.

Removing Spyware

Signs of spyware include your computer running unusually slow, a large amount of pop-up windows, and suspicious hard drive activity. Actually finding the spyware is way more difficult, Most of the time, spyware is labeled as something else already in your computer, and checking every file is inefficient. In that case, downloading a spyware detector would be the best option.
