When you find that your computer is infected with some crud the natural reaction is to get rid of it. But how? Most people I know including myself will use the super Google tool to find out what this is and how to get rid of it. In the course of your search, you may land on sites promoting software that claim to be able to rid your PC of this stuff. Before you download that tool ask yourself if you’ve heard of this company. If you haven’t ask your peeps. (Twitter is great for stuff like that 🙂 )
If nobody has heard of it, then you may want to avoid it and go with something that is recommended by those who’ve actually used something that works because some antivirus, spyware cleaners etc are actually wolves in sheeps clothing. I’ve been using Zone Alarm for several years now and been happy for the most part. Any software will have it’s share of quirks and minor annoyances and that’s to be expected. My husband uses something else and always complains to me about something while I’m chugging along 🙂
