If your computer has slowed, or you are receiving pop-ups or even web browser problems maybe you are the victim of Adware.

Protect your Identity from Internet Attacks

How many of you are surfing the web right now, thinking I'm fine this can't happen to me. Or my firewall or antivirus will protect me. Unfortunately you are not alone this carefree attitude by web surfers is allowing the internet to become infected with adware and spyware. Every time you log into the internet you are at risk, adware is waiting for its next victim, there are many unscrupulous people designing adware/spyware that is just waiting to steal from you. As soon as you log into your internet account and have no protection this silent enemy will embed its self into your system just waiting to transmit your information to its creator.

Have you ever visited a peer-to-peer file sharing site and downloaded games, movies or just about any files from these free sites. If this is the case you are at risk and if not you, maybe your children are putting you at risk, can you be sure.

Approximately 90% of all computers on the internet are infected with some form of adware. Of those computers an average of 24 adware programs were found hiding inside their systems. I use a an adware removal tool which I run every day and I am constantly removing between eight to ten adware spyware programs a day. If this isn't alarming to you it should be. In my experience most surfers are very naive and trusting and not having an understanding of the internet and its dangers are virtually inviting these unwanted guests into our lives.

Have you ever had your Identity stolen, did you own a computer at the time of this theft. Was it protected with an adware removal software?

Here is are a few ways to avoid adware.

- Do not open Email from an unknown source
- Set your browser security to medium
- Do not participate in file sharing programs
