Where Spyware Hides and Why Spyware Cleaners Can Kill It

Since you are reading this I can take it that you have had some form of exposure to the internet. And, since this is the case, there is a big chance you have heard of spyware.

To be specific, spyware is software that interrupts whatever you are doing to do what it wants to do. It might send you to another website that you didn't ask for; inundate you with endless commercials and pop up banners; install more software on your PC that you didn't ask for; and collect personal information from your PC and send it to someone else to use for their own purposes.

The bottom line is you and I don't want spyware on our computers.

Where it hides

Spyware usually hides in a number of ways, in an attempt to avoid being spotted by you and/or virus checkers.

1) It will charade as another program
Spyware will often pretend it is another program so you can't find it. This program you may have downloaded and installed yourself but weren't aware that it had spyware. Such a thing is very illegal.

2) It will hide behind other files
Spyware will often embed itself in valid files on your system, even every day files like documents, spreadsheets, pictures etc. This also makes it difficult to find because it codes itself to seem as if it is a part of this file.

3) It hides in the Windows registry
This is another reason why you can't just delete it or uninstall it. Once something is in your Windows registry it has to be removed by an uninstall program (which it won't in this case as the Spyware won't allow it) or manually removed. There are actually a lot of registry items that you shouldn't have in your registry, many of them “leftovers” of previous programs you have long since uninstalled. Once spyware is there it will stay there, and even if you accessed the registry manually it wouldn't be easy to find because registry files are usually just numbers and letters, they don't have recognisable names.

The best and most effective way to get rid of these is to get for yourself a spyware cleaner. These spyware cleaners will attack the spyware program at its root, wherever it is hiding (which could be numerous places and not just one of the above).

Keeping this in mind

Now, when taking in mind what spyware cleaner to get, you need to take the above in mind and remember that spyware comes unsolicited – through an email, through an internet site, or through other software. For this reason you also need a spyware cleaner that acts as a spyware 'blocker' – in other words, it is proactive. It needs to stop spyware infections before and/or as they are happening.

Spyware cleaners without this facility and that don't target spyware in the areas above are actually useless to you. So when you look at the features of spyware cleaners make sure it covers all these things. Otherwise you may spend money on something that just is not going to do the job.
