Ad-Aware
Spyware is a type of malicious software that secretly collects information about you to send to others without your knowledge. Spyware can even record your keystrokes, allowing hackers to capture your passwords and account numbers. Adware often appears as popup windows on your screen with unwanted advertisements that interfere with your ability to work in addition to being a serious nuisance.
Ad-Aware allows you to scan your Windows computer for spyware and safely remove it. It can also monitor your computer in real time to prevent spyware from being installed. For the most complete protection against spyware, you should use both Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy together.
