Spyware computer repair[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#5)
by Bright Spot on Mon May 31, 2004 at 09:29:35 PM PDT

I am a computer repair person. I been doing this for over 10 years. Currently over half of my repairs are to speed up computers. They are full of adware/spyware which now I call clutterware. The average computer has 20 to 40 different programs running in the background. They use to be running from the run lines in windows which were easy to remove. But now the use the BHO method which allows the program to run without showing up in the taskmanager. If these program don't want to be called spyware why are they hiding? Many of the adware/spyware movers programs are adware or worst fake removes. The computer that come in as a non-clutterware problem, half of them end up as clutterware caused problem.
