Spyware Removal
Also called Adware, spyware is a secret code hidden in an otherwise harmless program. Spyware permits unauthorized access to a computer, allowing someone else to observe the user, read data or even control the computer. It is secretly installed on a user's computer and monitors the use of the computer in some way with out the user's knowledge or consent.
Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. They can allow companies to monitor your internet browsing patterns, even allowing to infect you with "pop-ups".
Virus Removal
A virus is a program or piece of computer code that is installed or executed on to any computing device without the knowledge of the owner and runs against the owner's wishes. It is a computer program with the ability to modify other programs usually to be the determent of the computer system. Viruses can not spread to another computer without human assistance. They spread by inserting copies of themselves into computer programs or documents, which can be transferred from computer to computer without knowledge of any infection. A computer virus behaves similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells.
Most computer viruses will disrupt or alter the normal operation of the infected computer. Some viruses are destructive, permanently damaging data files or programs on the computer. They can cause system crashes, changes in data or completly erase your hard drives. They attach themselves to other programs in such a way that the virus code is executed when the infected program is excuted. Viruses are created specifically to invade computers and networks and wreak havoc on them. The results can either be very minor, such as causing a funny image to be displayed on your screen, or they can do serious damage by altering or even destroying files.
