How do I know if I have spyware or adware?
18 July 2009
A few common symptoms of having spyware are:
- Web browser home page has been hijacked (changed without your permission)
- New toolbars on your web browser(s)
The most common symptom of being infected with adware would be:
- A lot of pop-ups appearing for no reason
- Your computer's desktop image being changed without permission
As spyware and adware is evolving it's becoming even harder to detect – you may not
even notice the symptoms, but that doesn't mean that you're not infected.
It's still worth downloading a spyware and adware removal application to be sure and also to minimise risk in the future.
