So about a few weeks ago I was surfing the internet, but suddenly a pop-up came up that said somethin like: WARNING: you computer is infected, please download this software to rid of your malware. By now, I was little panicky, so I clicked okay and downloaded this software. That was a mistake. The program ended up being a spyware and resets my homepage and registry values and even blocked me from the internet by constantly shutting it down. ARRGH! And my computer was not prepared for this. I have no anti-spyware program whatsoever, and how could I download one when the internet keeps closing? But I managed. I keep ignoring the pop-up and keep trying a dn trying again to download Spybot-Search and Destroy. I ran the anti-spyware program and deleted the nasty spyware! Whew! So people out there not yet infected with fake anti-virus/malwaer/spyware, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT download anything that pops up at you, even if it says your omputer is infected. Your computer by that time is infected, yes, but you will get yourself into deeper trouble by downloading that thing. Everyone, Spybot-Search and Destroy is a must-have to protect your computer against spyware. Most of all, the program is free.
So the second must-have is CCleaner, stands for CrapCleaner. Hehe. It frees unused space in your computer and deletes it. It also scans for registry errors. Pretty good huh? Freeing up space in your computer could also speed it up! It is also free.
The third software is the renowned Pctools anti-virus. It is, of course, an anti-virus. But it is FREE! It does not, like most trial or limited anti-virus which scans for the viruses, and shows you all of it right infront of you, and you think "oh yay! I can finally delete all this virus on my computer!" But noooo, like most stingy companies, in order to delete it, you have to pay. pctools is about the only anti-virus out there that's free! Get it today. You also get regular updates and monitors your computer in the background. That's cool.
So these three softwares will keep your computer clean and malware free from just about anything!
