Spyware is the name given to a piece of software that is installed on your machine, whether you installed it yourself as a part of a freeware program, or as a plug-in to a webpage. Spywares collect information about your internet browsing habits, and send that information up to a server. That server then sends you pop ups with advertising based on your history of visited websites. Well, that’s the theory. In reality nobody can know for sure what information is being collected. One thing is for sure: in a fresh installation of Windows that is unprotected, in as little as 15 minutes browsing the internet, going to search engines, and clicking on the results, your computer will get a minimum of 3 Spyware software automatically installed without ever asking you permission. At Neat Network Solutions we have professionals trained in removing those. We use the highest rated tools in the market to remove the spyware, and protect your system against future infections. Once the system has been cleaned up and the tools installed, the future spyware infections drop to about 1/20th of what it was before, and those few that get installed after that, are usually manually installed by the user.
