[W782]Why My Computer So Slow
by Doug Cunningham, Dou
 
What is Spyware?
Why is my computer so slow?
 
Spyware is a great tool for advertisers and would not be such a terrible thing if only one was placed on your computer instead of thousands.  Right now I am sure thousands of you are thinking I am out of my mind saying there is a good side to Spyware. 
 
To rid your computer of Spyware and protect it from infection, understanding what Spyware is, and what it does is crucial.  Spyware is a program that gets loaded to your computer when you go to certain web sites, open an infected email, use a toolbar or download a program that contains it, etc.  Much like a virus it loads itself most of the time without your knowledge or consent.  Then it gets busy watching your moves.  Not malicious in intent they do not intentionally damage your machine.  So what are they doing?  They are watching the sites you visit on the web, then they send that information back to a server that records what you look at.  Why is this information recorded?  Money, Money, Money, Money.  Advertisers pay large amounts of money to gather this information, they then use that information to display advertisement ads on certain web sites that match your interest.  They also use this information to figure out what people are looking at so they know what products to sell you.  Ever notice the popups, banners, splash pages etc contain information about things you were just searching for.  Hmmm not by accident or coincidence
 
Now you might say, that is it, that is what they are doing.  So what is the big deal?  The problem arises not from the individual programs themselves; but the quantity of these programs that get loaded to your machine.  Say you surf a lot and the next thing you know your computer is running at a snails pace and you’re mad as hell at your internet provider because your high speed isn’t so high speed anymore.  Reason, instead of one program tracking you 100 programs are tracking you sending loads of info back to be recorded.  Your machine can’t keep up because it’s busy as hell trying to collect all this information and your network connection is slow because this traffic is filling up the pipe so to speak. 
 
That is the problem!! Thousands of different spyware programs trying to jump on your computer from everywhere then send all sorts of information back to their servers.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhh.
 
Darn Spyware, Darn Viruses, Darn Hackers, Imagine how fast and nice computers would be if we didn’t have to run all these programs to remove and protect us from this crap. 
 
Oh well that is the way it goes.
 
So what now?  What do I do? 
 
Your options:
 

  • You can stop surfing, reading email, yeck just unplug your computer and store cloths on it.  


 

  • You can spend hours trying to remove this stuff manually.


 
 

  • Leave it to the companies whose existence is to keep their programs up to date cleaning and protecting your machine.  Follow the link and find out or Suffer miserable while your computer gets turned into a worthless pile of well you know what. 


 
Now you understand what the problem is and you can’t stop it help someone you know solve their problem.
 
FORWARD on to all you know because most likely they don’t.  It will save them hours of suffering, costly repairs and plain old
stress.
