How do I get rid of Spyware? Use a legitimate spyware removal program We suggest Spybot Search and Destroy in combination with Microsoft Antispyware (now called Defender) Ad-aware is a good program and is free for home use but is no longer free for educational use.

Steps in Spyware Removal Add and Remove Programs Menu Reboot Run a Spybot Scan Run a Microsoft Antispyware Scan If still having problems manually remove registry and startup entries (Do NOT do this yourself)

How do I prevent Spyware? Be conscious of what you are clicking on/downloading Some pop-ups have what appears to be a close button, but will actually try to install spyware when you click on it. Always look for the topmost right red X. Remember that things on the internet are rarely free. “Free” Screensavers etc. generally contain ads or worse that pay the programmer for their time.
