How did this spyware get in my computer?
Spyware is a category of software that "reads" information on your computer (browser history, for example) and transmits it over the Internet to a recipient that's usually unknown. One of the most common reasons why a user has one or more of this little programs running without being aware of them is that he or she downloaded and installed something (games or other freebies) from a website they were casually visiting. The potential risk of damage that spyware can cause is high.

Antivirus Today a good antivirus software is something we can't live without, unless we don't care about our personal data. As more and more viruses spread over the internet and on the old computer media such as floppy-disks and CDs it's important to keep your system and your antivirus up-to-date.

Firewall Every user that connects to the internet by means of an ADSL or faster connection should seriously consider the benefits of a firewall protection. A firewall can monitor incoming and outgoing connections and allow or block them. In can be configured to handle the most common tasks without prompting for authorization. Most firewall appliances are completely transparent for your network.
