Part 2: Free Anti Spyware

Part 2:

A month ago my computer started getting slow again. I did not know what was going on. My SpyBot Search and Destroy was not picking up anything. The software had all its patches/updates. Yet my computer was getting slower.

This was really puzzling. I asked my IT friend at work again. I explained to her the situation. It was about how the computer was getting slower and that SpyBot Search and Destroy was not picking up anything. I asked if I should download another free anti spyware program. She said to hold off on it. There was one last thing I can try. She took about 2 minutes explaining this to me.

Later on in the evening I went home and did exactly what she instructed. First I uninstalled the SpyBot Search and Destroy. I restarted the computer. Then I went to the website to download the last version. I reinstalled it, and ran SpyBot Search and Destroy, and it picked up 10 instances of spyware. I selected the option to purge the entries, and SpyBot Search and Destroy executed the command.

I surfed the web for another 10 minutes, did some word processing, and worked on my project from work, and my computer was fine.
