What does the Internet know about your personal life? Spyware knows which websites you visit and for how long. It knows what you click and what you like. It can even record your personal information or slow down and crash your browser!

It can fix registry problems inflicted by spyware on your computer. It's regularly updated to deal with all the latest threats to your online privacy.

Just click the "Download" button on the download page. Another button on the page allows you to donate to the program's developers, but that's totally optional.

Once the program is downloaded, click Start a Scan. A helpful feature of this program will offer help if you opt in. From there, you can clean temporary files, clear out malicious files and clean up your system, just by clicking Fix selected.

You might already have an anti-virus program, but not all anti-virus programs include anti-spyware. Even when they do, it isn't always the best. Having a dedicated spyware remover is the way to go.
