The first line of defense is a recommended piece of anti-virus software
and a free
spyware
scan utility. This is your software for unwanted visitors. Set a
time for this activity, like 1pm
on Saturday. This one good habit will be sure to free you from
the free spyware pests that
haunt the Internet.
Second, is your security settings. Much like the local kids that want
to egg your car at night, you should be aware that there are threats to
your computer security. It would be naïve not to have a home
security system in a troublesome neighborhood. The internet is much the
same. Research your browser's function and learn about how to implement
better online security. Set your security level to "HIGH" and make the
browser ask whether you will allow a site to set a cookie or not. This
will cut down on the number of malicious websites you encounter. Also,
never download a program that pops-up the moment you enter a new site.
This "pop-up" is one of the primary vehicles for free spyware
to enter you computer.
