Press Release Body = Eugene, Oregon - October 12, 2006-Since spyware is becoming more and more of a problem for computer users, many people are taking steps to combat this problem by purchasing spyware remover software. Security experts recommend this as part of a comprehensive strategy to limit the damage spyware can cause but there are some things you should look for in a good spyware remover. Here are 3 suggestions to ponder while looking for spyware remover.
1. Is the spyware remover easy to use? Sometimes the method to removing spyware is very time consuming and technical. If it doesn\'t look pretty much like an auto-pilot system you may look for another, unless of course you have a lot of computer background and knowledge along with a lot of time.
2. Does the spyware remover offer real-time protection? Real-time protection simply means that the software monitors programs as they start up, so that future instances of spyware have a greater chance of being detected and stopped before their even installed on your system or before they run for the first time. This is critical if you download a lot of software, including screensavers, games, or other applications. It appears that games, smileys and other \"attractive\" applications seem to have spyware on a high basis, so be very careful when downloading.....
3. Does the spyware remover allow you to schedule periodic scans? You are most likely too busy to remember to scan every week or every other day. Having a auto-schedule will help tremendously. Therefore, the anti-spyware program should have a feature, similar to what\'s found in most anti-virus programs, which allows you to schedule periodic scans of your computer. That way, you can set things up once when you first purchase the software, and then you only have to take notice when something comes up in the scan. Of course with good computing practices and safe internet surfing habits, the chances of something being found go down dramatically.
