Spyware on your computer?

I am installing this anti-spyware to my client’s computer when they are experiencing a lot of pop-ups when connecting to net. Usually, the pop-up will tell them that their pc is infected by a virus and that they need to click on the link as a recommended solution for their problem. Not knowing that what they clicked is a scam to automatically install into their pc, and will further ask them their credit card numbers for them to avail the discounted or recommended software. This is true most likely if you are using Internet Explorer. With the case of Mozilla Firefox, it is unlikely.

I am using Firefox for my internet connections or downloads. It keeps me safer while browsing the world wide web. Well, that is one of my recommendations. This is the second recommendation that really works, I myself installed this into my computer when I got a spyware after opening porn sites, hehehe.

The software is called superantispyware. Click on the free download for home users then install this to your computer. This is good for 30 days only, it’s either you can buy the product after the trial period or uninstall the product then go for another software. You can tell the difference between a free trial software vs a paid one. Recommendation: always install a paid antivirus or anti-spyware. You might not know that the spyware or the virus that is creeping inside your computer is very strong that the free trial cannot remove.

After the installation, scan the computer using the “complete scan”. This might take a while. After the scan, it will display all the threats. Make sure to check all the boxes then proceed to the next step (deleting them). Powercycle (meaning restart) the pc then you’re done!

...to end: share your blessings to others...
