Does your computer antivirus not work against these programs and is it really that easy for programs like this to get embedded in your computer?

Answer 1

Computer viruses are one thing, adware and spyware are two distinctly different things. Some antivirus can see spyware, but can't remove it. Most can't even see it.

Every mouse click or change of page on the internet loads anything from a cookie to an unseen ad. Most do no harm except clutter up your hard drive, but some trojans (a form of spyware) can really cause a problem. If you want to keep your computer free of this, get both Ad-Aware and SpyBot. Download, install and run them often. You should use the immunize feature in SpyBot, it immunizes the machine against over 14,000 known pieces of spyware. Ad-Aware should be run in a full system scan the first time, and after that, run a Smart Scan. You canget them both at download.com.

Answer 3

Its very easy for programs to get embedded. I have Norton Anti virus with auto protect. When I ran it, it couldn't find ad-ware. Then I downloaded spybot and it caught it. It then gave me the option to block it, should I visit whatever site that keeps auto downloading crap.
