Prevention and Preparation Can Save You From Spyware Disasters
With spyware, like many nasty things in this world, prevention is the best medicine. Keeping your computer safe from malicious software is often best accomplished by not allowing it to reach your computer in the first place. When it does manage to get past your defenses, you need to deal with it quickly -- which means you need a way to detect and remove it already installed on your computer. Safe browsing combined with regular scans by an anti-spyware program can keep your computer healthy and spyware-free.
Browse Safe to Prevent Infections
Safe browsing is your first and best line of defense. Never install software directly from a website or pop-up. Check your browser settings to make sure that software cannot be installed without your knowledge. Never run any program if you aren't sure it's from a safe website, and even if you trust the website you should scan the program files with your antivirus software before installing. Beware of pop-ups that claim your computer is infected with a virus. They are scams that install Trojan spyware on your system! If you are in doubt about the status of your system, run your antivirus and your anti-spyware software.
Get Anti-Spyware Software Before Spyware Gets You
It is important to get dedicated anti-spyware software installed on your computer before you have a problem. While many antivirus programs will check for other types of malware besides viruses, having a program dedicated to the task on your system will give you better protection. Some malware targets the well-known antivirus software first, turning it off in order to do more damage to your system. If you have a separate anti-spyware program installed you may be able to catch the malware before it can do any real damage. Run your security software daily if you browse the web daily.
