How to Prevent Spyware

To help you out, we have conducted tests, and have found that XoftSpySE is one of the best ways to protect your computer. This anti-spyware program is adept at preventing known ActiveX controls, as well as hijackers and dialers from being installed on the hard drive of your computer.

There are a number of other ways to protect your PC from the harmful affects of spyware. Here are some of them:

***Only download programs from Web sites you know and trust. When trying to access possible harmful sites, your computer will give you a warning. Be sure to heed that important warning!

***Be sure to examine all security warnings, license agreements and privacy statements associated with any type of download. Sometimes, notices about spyware are buried in the fine print. A sneaky way to try to invade your computer, indeed!

***Make sure to never click "agree" or "OK" when you go to close a window. The better option is to click the red "x" in the corner of the window. Another option is to press the Alt + F4 buttons on your keyboard to close a window.

***Be cautious about using "free" file-sharing programs, such as those that offer access to music, television shows, movies, and video games. and be sure you clearly understand all of the software packaged with those programs.
