Hi! Welcome to our tutorial about spyware removal and spyware blockers. We are going to try to give you some information here. This is a picture of our website about spyware removal. We want you to kill the bugs and improve the performance of your computer. We are going to talk about removal and blockers. But first, we need to talk about removal.
Spyware removal is important if your PC has ever been infected. You know the price you pay for the performance, and a system as compromised security. I do not know about you but I do not want attracting cookie on my machine until someone in the website where I do my online banking, or where I pay my bills on credit card. We need to remove the spyware, ad ware and other malicious software that is on your machine now.
We will give you some free software so that you can start cleaning your right away. For right now, we just want to help you get started on cleaning some of the bugs from your machine, so we are going to scroll down the page here down to this link where it says “Spyware Removal.” there is a nice link. Now, it takes us to a website that gives us some software called “a-squared free”.
Now, you may have not heard of this but it is actually a really decent piece of software. Totally free, that will find and remove spyware, adware and all kinds of malware on your machine.
All right, we will go here to the download link and there are several pieces of software here, anti-malware. And, here is the a-squared Free 3.5. And we go down here to the download. You click on it and it will download and go ahead and run it. I am going to cancel this for the moment because I do not need to run it. But, you go ahead and run that and install the software, do all the updates.
And here is the program icon. And, it will tell you to do an update. You will get all the recent information here. A lot of new stuff there: Trojans, Spyware, Worms, Dialers, Tracers—Wow! A lot of stuff. And, you want to scan now. Be sure to do the deep scan because you need to dig deep into your files keeping in mind that this is really a nice piece of software. It is totally free and it will start peeling off some of the layers of infection on your computer. But you also have to understand that we are going to have to use several scanners to really dig deep enough to get all of the infection.
All of these scanners are good. All of them are built by professional people that do a great job of designing their products. But once the computer is really infected, you have to use several of them to really dig deep enough to get all the infection out. So, you hit your little scan button and you start your scan.
Wait until the scan is finished and at the end of it, when it is all done, it is going to ask you if you want to save the report. Go ahead and save that report. And then, be sure that you put all the things that it found on the scan in the quarantine. That is really important.
Be sure to quarantine bugs. Lock them up. Do not let them do anything in your computer.
If you found a number of infections, the next step is to check your antivirus software to see if it has been compromised. We will show you how to do that in the next tutorial “How to Remove Spyware, Part Two”.
