Help! My Computer's Being Invaded
By Donna Monday
Have you heard of the movie “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”?
Yeah, it’s as silly as it sounds.
But, wait a minute now.
The Internet is becoming as hazardous as one of those bad sci-fi flicks. There used to be a time (not too long ago) when we could log onto our email and just read messages from friends and family, or enjoy a nice ezine or two. Remember those times?
Remember the good old days when you could click on your Internet browser and take a leisurely stroll through cyberspace without nary a care in the world? Okay. So maybe there were some pretty awful web sites back then. And yes, there was even some annoying advertising – blinking banners anyone?
Ahh . . . those were the days.
Then the invaders swarmed in with their annoying viruses, SPAM, and sneaky spyware. Hiding inside of goodies like free music downloads and shareware. Like thieves in the night, they hide on your computer and await the moment when you open up your browser to go for an innocent cyber stroll. Then –
Attack!
Your computer is littered with unwanted ads and Trojans that have literally taken your computer hostage. For a brief while this was only happening to the business community, but soon the invasion spread into the home PC where unsuspecting people wonder where did all this junk come from?
Once your computer’s been hijacked there’s no getting rid of these nasty invaders without a strong line of defense. Laser guns? No, not for this fight. Save that for the movies.
Your best defense against viruses and spyware is to download a good anti-spyware software program that will seek out and destroy your computer’s enemies with speed and precision. And once the pesky invaders are gone, you’ll want that program to keep up-to-date on the newest threats, and destroy those too.
The best anti-spyware software will scan your computer for free so you have an idea of how many spyware invaders are actually hiding inside your hard drive – waiting to strike. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll find.
It’s such a relief when you’re finally able to surf the Internet again with no pop up ads interfering an no waiting for your slow as molasses computer to get from point A to point B due to it’s being overloaded with unwanted spyware invaders.
It’s easy to drive those invaders away with only a few mouse clicks. I’ve done it, and you can too. Isn’t your peace of mind worth it?
I’ve reclaimed my computer and now I’m able to enjoy surfing the Net once again. And, just like in countless space invader movies where the world is saved, you can experience a happy ending to your spyware troubles as well.
