You need to have a premiere anti-spyware in the pc to have it scanned & removed. If it could not be removed by an anti-spyware, you need to consult the manufacturer of the pc since they have have a special spyware scanner. For deeper understanding of what a spyware is & what it can do to your beloved PC, please read on: What is spyware? "Spyware" generally refers to computer programs that track your online activities. The activities that are tracked include, Web sites you visit, advertisement banners you click on, and search engines you tend to use. Spyware is generally used by Internet advertisers to collect data and statistics for online Web usage. You may unknowingly install spyware when you download programs from the Internet, install software from disks, or open suspicious email attachments. Symptoms of spyware The following symptoms may indicate that spyware exists on your computer. Your computer is acting slower than usual: One of the most commonly noticed symptoms of spyware is that your computer may responding much slower than usual. Your Internet connection appears slower than usual: Spyware can use significant computer memory resources. Multiple instances of spyware running at the same time can create “memory leaks,” which can give you the impression that your Internet connection is much slower than normal. Advertisement pop-ups appear when you're not browsing the Web: Spyware can also serve you pop-up advertisements that appear while you are not surfing the Web--even if you don’t have a Web browser open. Your homepage has changed, or keeps changing: Sometimes spyware will change your default homepage, or render your computer incapable of changing your homepage again. Redirecting Web sites: Spyware can cause your browser to automatically redirect to different Web sites. This symptom is especially common with Internet search engines. Search tool bars appear in your browser: You may notice that search bars appear directly in your browser. These bars, also known as plug-ins, can sometimes be installed by spyware programs. Spyware software appears in menus: Another indication that spyware has been installed on your computer is when suspicious programs and folders appear in your Start menu, startup menu, or system tray. Removing spyware Spyware is often very difficult to remove without the help of specialized anti-spyware programs (also known as spyware scanners). Spyware scanners identify and remove spyware from your computer. It is strongly recommended that you take advantage of these programs rather than attempting to remove spyware programs through conventional program un-install methods, like the “Add / Remove Programs” utility in Windows. Spyware protection and prevention Here are some basic guidelines to follow to help protect your computer from spyware in the future. Always be careful to fully understand what an application will be doing on your computer before you download it. Beware that sometimes spyware programs are bundled with other software applications (especially file sharing applications), and will automatically install. Be aware that spyware can be hidden in files shared through some popular file sharing applications, including KaZaA, LimeWire, BearShare, WinMX, iMesh, Morpheus, and XoloX.
