Once spyware, adware, keyloggers, Trojans and other malicious codes have installed themselves onto your computer the consequences are seemingly endless. Not only do they record and send off information about your internet habits, online purchases and other computer usage information, they can also tap into private information such as credit card and social security numbers.

Each time a computer user is online they are downloading spyware onto their computer, without their consent or knowledge. Clicking on pop up ads or visiting certain web sites, even some of which are thought to be secure, are all ways spyware infects your computer. Many commonly used game, music and other freeware programs allow spyware in when they are downloaded.

This program will scan and remove any detected spyware threats, upon your approval. Any spyware infections identified by PAL’s spyware scan tool are highly recommended to be removed so your computer can maintain its normal functions.
