How to Recognize Spyware
The following tips are not comprehensive, but are common indicators that spyware may be running on your computer:
- Your computer receives a large amount of pop-up windows, even when you are not browsing the Internet. You may also receive a lot of unexpected or unusual errors.
- When you browse the internet, you are unable to choose webpages, unable to use certain keys or mouse buttons, or are redirected to different pages.
- You see new toolbars in your Internet browser, or unfamiliar icons in your task tray or on your desktop.
- The homepage of your browser or your search function have been changed.
- Your computer or Internet connection seems much slower than usual.
