Why did you install that?

I can't tell you how many emails I receive from those who have installed programs meant to PROTECT their PC's... but instead they wind up with more problems.

These so-called all-in-one, or 5-in-one security programs get so entwined with your registry, you can't do anything. Be careful of those programs that claim they can handle viruses, malware and spyware for one price.

I still recommend the following programs for their ease of use and continued support by their creators.

Avast - anti-virus free home version
Spybot-Search & Destroy - anti-spyware
Ad-aware - anti-spyware

I continue to review a variety of other security programs and will update my recommendations as needed.

Hi friend,
It is correct that some time we install anti spyware software, for the purpose to protect our system from spyware attack but the result is reverse, & we face more problems. It is happen by fake software. Therefore before installation we need to verify those anti spyware program.
