Computer Virus Protection Software

I did a search for computer virus protection on Google and the results that came up did not surprise me at all.

I also did a search at Download.com for computer virus protection. At the top of the page were three sponsored links.

Spyware: They Are Watching

We've all heard of computer viruses. Even people who are neophytes to computers have heard tales of computer viruses spreading like wildfire through a network and wreaking havoc.

Aside from regular computer viruses, however, another irritating and potentially destructive type of computer program that can infect your pc through the internet is spyware, and its little cousin, adware.

Adware by itself is generally harmless, albeit irritating. It is a program that basically inserts itself into your system and spams you with tons of unasked for and unsolicited advertising.
