Before I begin let me give you a little back ground on my experience. I have been working with computers since the 80’s. I have done programming, tech support, building and repair, and IT. I am Microsoft Certified. I have spent the last 6 months following the current trend of spyware and what anti-spyware programs are doing to counter spyware. So you can rest assured I am not just someone on the internet expressing my opinion, I have actual experience to back up what I say.

I was planning a trip home over the holiday when my mother calls and tells me that the computer I gave my little brother before I moved is behaving “strange.” I know what that means. That means I’m probably going to spend hours trouble shooting the computer to figure out what he did to it. The day after I arrive me brother begs me to see to his computer. I boot up the computer and start doing basic trouble shooting. There are pop ups, the computer is crawling, and when starting up Internet Explorer unknown web pages would pull up instead of the designated start page. My brother insisted he had run the antivirus and it hadn’t found anything. I was relieved, because I knew immediately what the problem was. The problem was the computer was infected with spyware. No antivirus on the market deals with spyware.

Let me tell you a little bit about the spyware programs that are out waiting to infect your computer these days. The spyware programs that are rampant on the internet have evolved into the current incarnation, which we in the computer industry refer to as “rootkits.” Rootkits will dig into the root of your operating system, the registry, and implant itself there. Removal is difficult and if you try to remove the spyware manually if you miss any part of it, the spyware will reinstall itself on next log on.

So to clean up my brother’s computer was a simple matter. I turned to the only program out there that gives you a 100% removal guarantee, SpyZooka. I went to www.spyzooka.com and downloaded, installed, registered, updated, then ran SpyZooka. My brother’s computer was infected by 2 spyware programs and a Trojan. SpyZooka completely removed them. As an added bonus SpyZooka will now keep my brother’s computer safe from further infections.

How did he get the infection in the first place? Well we don’t know for sure. He is a teen now so maybe he got curious and visited a porn site. Porn sites are known to infect your computer with all kinds of malware. My little brother also does a lot of downloading files off sites and using file sharing software. He could have gotten the infection that way. My little brother is also guilty of opening every file sent to him via email. So he could have gotten the infection that way. No matter how he got the infection, SpyZooka took care of it.
