Are You Being Tracked?
Are your computers getting slower? Are your workstations more vulnerable? You may not know it, but you may be the victim of spyware software. Ad-serving software actually tracks your Internet usage and reports it back to the advertising companies so that they can send pop-up ads back to your computer.
Adware, spyware, dialers, key loggers, and trojans of different kinds of ad-serving sofware may already be loaded on your computer. These types of software are a relatively new kind of threat not handled by common anti-virus applications.
Removing adware or spyware requires the use of special anti-adware software. It is highly recommend to have some softwares like- PepiMK Software's Spybot (Spybot Search and Destroy) and Ad-aware by Lavasoft, or some other software of similar kind, installed in your system.
