Anti Spyware: 9 Out Of 10 Computers Are Infected. By Garry Allen
Did you know, that 9 out of 10 computers are infected with spyware, adware and malware making it critical for people to use anti spyware protection today. Now in order to prevent this kind of ongoing attack on your privacy and your computer, I recommend choosing an anti spyware solution that will provide identity protection as well. Like most people, you may not understand the importance of anti spyware and how just surfing the net could put you at constant risk.
Security
The truth is that without some basic security procedures, your computer will be infested with spyware, adware and malware. This is what Mike Nash corporate vice president of the Security Business and Technology unit at Microsoft said, “Spyware is a serious and growing problem for PC users, and customers have made it very clear that they want Microsoft to deliver effective solutions to protect

against the threat". The pledge, made by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates during his keynote speech kicking off the RSA Conference 2005, comes after the company had been testing its AntiSpyware application--technology it acquired with its purchase of security software maker Giant Software. The initiative here is part of Microsoft's efforts to strengthen security for home and business users of its Windows desktop software.
Programs of threat
File sharing programs and swapping music, photos or other files are notorious avenues for spyware infection. Spyware is an emerging breed of malicious software that can range from unwanted pop-up ads to unseen programs that record keystrokes or even take over a person's PC. These programs can be hard to spot, disguised in downloads such as toolbars, search engines, browser accessories, screen savers and other seemingly helpful utilities.
In Conclusion
Unless Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (beta) proves to be complete trash (which we very much doubt), Microsoft's future anti-spyware product should be a guaranteed success; replacing the various dodgy commercial anti-spyware products out there with a trusted brand seems like a sure recipe for printing money, so Microsoft should be congratulated for going the philanthropist route, at least on this issue.
