		<description><![CDATA[Has spyware taken over your computer? Learn the 3 levels of spyware to know for sure&#8230; &#8220;The only difference between the fool, and the criminal who attacks a system is that the fool attacks unpredictably and on a broader front.&#8221; (Tom Gilb) It doesn’t matter if your computer is compromised by professional villains or just by the geeky kid across the street, once your sensitive files have been broken into your life may never be the same. Spyware is one of the most unrated forms of &#8220;espionage&#8221; occurring in the world today. Most computer users think of this kind of program as a being just as an annoying or embarrassing kind of prank. But criminal-minded programmers know better. In the past, spyware and its close cousin adware were simply wicked bits of &#8220;paid advertisements&#8221; for shady website publishers to attract customers. But soon, more malicious coders determined to use these programs to really &#8220;spy&#8221; on innocent people and dig out as many of their victim&#8217;s secrets to use or sell on the black market as possible. These new programs are being crafted by &#8220;professional&#8221; development teams just like a &#8220;real&#8221; software company. The programs are sophisticated and slick. At its [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you sabotaging yourself with spyware? &#8220;The Amish Virus You have just received the Amish virus. As the Amish don&#8217;t have any technology or programming experience, this virus works on the honor system.  Please delete all the files from your hard drive and manually forward this virus to everyone on your mailing list.  Thank you for your cooperation.&#8221; As a computer technician, the first time I read this joke, I laughed out loud. Yep, I thought to myself, ain&#8217;t that the truth. I know from both personal and professional experience that spyware programmers can cause a lot of damage not only to a computer but also to your personal life if they have access to your sensitive files. But all jokes aside, the most dangerous person who can access your machine is not some remote foreign hacker but you and your family. Often when I visit a client who is having spyware issues, I often find that the bulk of their problems are self inflicted. Malicious programmers can only hide their products inside of innocent looking pop-ups, webpages or &#8220;freeware&#8221; programs hoping to lure some unwary computer user into downloading them. Like a fisherman on the river bank, they can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to prevent having your personal files exposed then you should read what to do when you get hacked&#8230; Hey, it could happen to you. I know. I am professional PC technician and it happened to me. Yes, I write how-to articles and tell all my clients the same things: be careful of &#8220;freeware&#8221; programs, watch where you download stuff, change password frequently, etc. All the rest but despite my best efforts I got jacked! It happened innocently enough. I was doing some work for a client and was trying to convert some music and video files into a more portable format. But all the good software was only had &#8220;paid&#8221; versions and I wanted to save myself some money. So I logged into some geek forums and started nosing around. One guy recommended this little &#8220;freeware&#8221; program he had used to good success. So I clicked on his link and surfed over to a software directory I had never used before and downloaded it. The program was running fine, when I noticed that my hard drive was being hit really hard, with its activity light going nuts. So I quickly stopped the program and uninstalled it. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is your computer infected with spyware? Check out these 10 warning signs to take action today&#8230; It&#8217;s been estimated that over 60% of all computers have some kind of spyware installed and most of their owners are unaware! If you are tired of your PC running slow and filling your screen with those nasty pop-up then you will want to read the 10 warning signs listed below. Afterwards check out my &#8220;action plan&#8221; and what you can do to rid yourself of your spyware infestation. 1. Browser Hijacks &#8211; When I used to get a call from a customer saying that their homepage had suddenly changed, without them doing anything, I knew to bring my anti-spyware fighting software. Malicious programmers love to change your browser settings to transfer your homepage to their &#8220;client&#8217;s&#8221; websites. 2. PC is Crashing &#8211; Without warning, your PC starts crashing, freezing or locking up, but you haven&#8217;t added any new software or updated anything recently. 3. Pop-Ups &#8211; You open your browser to visit your favorite blog site then &#8220;WHAM!&#8221; You are suddenly drowning in pop-ups! Your screen is full of brightly colored lures to porn, gambling or gaming websites. You click on the &#8220;Close&#8221; [...]]]></description>

So why is your machine acting so strange lately? The crashes, the sluggish behavior and the pop-ups are driving you mad. You have got all the right stuff: all the software programs, the anti-virus, the firewall, etc. But your PC has been acting up and now there is some weird program installed on your desktop. If you want to get your computer back on track then you should see if you are making these five mistakes. 1) Did you forget to update your operating system? Updating your computer can be a pain, I know. But of the things you could do to lock down and secure your PC, this one beats out all the others hands down. The boys from Redmond, WA (Microsoft headquarters), develop and send out operating system updates at least once a month, usually on a Tuesday. Your best method is to turn on your Windows &#8220;Automatic Updates&#8221; module and let it handle the download and installation process for you &#8220;auto-magically&#8221;. But you prefer you [...]]]></description>
