It is estimated that over 91% of
all computers that have Internet access are infected with Adware and/or
Spyware programs. So the chances of your PC being infected
is quite high.
Here
are 9 warning signs you should be aware of, if any of them pertain to you
then your PC is most likely infected:
|
|
|
|
When
you start your browser, the home page has mysteriously changed. You
change it back manually, but before long you find that it has changed
back again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You
get pop-up advertisements when your browser is not running or when your
system is not even connected to the Internet, or you get pop-up ads that
address you by name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your
phone bill includes expensive calls to 900 numbers that you never
made-probably at an outrageous per-minute rate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You
enter a search term in Internet Explorer's address bar and press Enter to
start the search. Instead of your usual search site, an unfamiliar site
handles the search.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A
new item appears in your Favorites list without your putting it there. No
matter how many times you delete it, the item always reappears later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your
system runs noticeably slower than it did before. If you're a Windows
2000/XP user, launching the Task Manager and clicking the Processes tab
reveals that an unfamiliar process is using nearly 100 percent of available
CPU cycles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At a
time when you're not doing anything online, the send or receive lights on
your dial-up or broadband modem blink just as wildly as when you're
downloading a file or surfing the Web. Or the network/modem icon in your
system tray flashes rapidly even when you're not using the connection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A
search toolbar or other browser toolbar appears even though you didn't
request or install it. Your attempts to remove it fail, or it comes back
after removal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
And
the final sign is: Everything appears to be normal. The most devious
spyware doesn't leave traces you'd notice, so scan your system anyway.

How
Can SpyWare and AdWare
Hackers/Companies infect your PC?
Your PC may be infected if you
have ever downloaded screensavers, music, games, video clips, images, and
even those "smiley face" icons that have been going around the past
few months. Advertisers/Hackers offer these screensavers, music, games, etc.
for free in order to legally "trick" consumers into installing
their AdWare and SpyWare
programs.
