Spyware is the malicious software installed on
your computer through user permission, your browser (such as Internet Explorer),
or just as you surf the web (commonly
known as driveby or browser hijacking). Removing it can be near impossible at
times (without formatting the hard drive). Proceed at your own risk, or call
Compu-Doc! As always, make sure your data is backed up!
