Get Spyware Sweeper

*sponsored*

Approximately a year ago, I had to reinstall the operating software in my desktop. Not just that, also I had to reinstall the applications, softwares, drivers ... let me tell you, it was a hassle.

My computer was affected by spyware, adware, whatever they call it nowadays. Everytime I turn on my Internet Explorer, and tried to log in to my Yahoo! email, another window popped up with advertisements. Everytime I visit a page, a new window would pop up selling me things I didn't even need. Browsing on the internet was so difficult and time consuming as the ads/new windows kept popping up.

Well, lucky for me, I had my laptop, and I was able to research on the issue that was affecting my desktop. I read some article and was told to increase my security setting and also remove some cookies. I did that, but then the next time I turn on my IE, the same thing returned. I was so frustrated because I couldn't get my work done, and how I wished someone would have told me about the Spy Sweeper at that time. I didn't know what I could do at that point, so I deleted the whole HD and reinstalled my Window XP system. It took more than a week to get my desktop running like before with all the applications I need.
