If you watched any of our tutorials so far, you have learned how to remove some of the malware infections from your computer and you may have already seen the tutorial about the anti virus programs that we recommend. For this one, we are just going to go over some of the fine points about good anti spy ware software versus bad anti spy ware software. There are a lot of rogue anti spy ware programs out there that are absolutely not worth the money and they are actually a form of malware themselves. Now, what the rogue anti spy ware programs will do is they will plant themselves on your computer without even you knowing about it, you certainly did not download anything but there they are.
A lot of times, down here in this area, you might see a little security warning pop up and suddenly say something like “your computer is infected and you need to upgrade your internet security programs or your anti spy ware programs.” A lot of times, this little icon that you see is going to look a lot like the security center, the Windows security center. It is going to look really official but it is absolutely junk but it is made to look so it has the appearance of a legitimate program, absolutely is not legitimate okay. There are a lot of ways this things attack your computer, now we want to introduce you to a couple of websites that will give you a lot of really good information about good and bad anti spy ware programs and also comparisons on the anti virus programs that are out there today.
One of the main resources that we use is a spy ware warrior website. This has a list of rogue and suspect anti spy ware and as you can see, this is a pretty big list. I mean there is just a lot of really really bad stuff out there. It all tries to appear legitimate, the fact of the matter is, it is just not. They also give you an anti spy ware comparison chart, okay and recommended programs. Now there are hundreds of anti spy ware and anti malware programs on the market, just a lot of them. The spy ware warrior website, out of all those programs only recommends seven. It is a pretty short; the list that we have that we are going to tell you about is even shorter than this one. We are going to be really careful here to try and just show you the very best software available to protect your computer.
Since we do not accept any advertising from any of these companies, we do not get paid fro endorsing any particular type of software. It leaves us free to look for the very best stuff and I can assure if we find one that is better than the one recommending now, we will tell you about that one too. We are only really interested here in finding the best stuff for you and make sure that you have really good software to protect your computer.
