Advantages: Free, Easy to Download, Easy to Use

Disadvantages: None

I have recently discovered a great little free software program that scans your PC memory, registry and hard drives for spyware and allows you to remove it safely.

Spyware consists of nasty little programs that are inadvertently downloaded onto your PC in the form of "cookies" while you are surfing the net. The purpose is to build up a profile of you and your particular interests by logging your visits to various websites, all of this is done without your knowledge or permission!

The Ad-aware program is produced by Lavasoft and can be downloaded free from their website (www.lavasoft.de/aaw)
It does not take up much space on your machine, is quick to download and very simple to configure.

There are various options that you can set up to scan your system. The scanning process takes less than a couple of minutes and it will report any known spyware and allow you to safely remove it.

In summary, a very useful item of free software which should help you keep "Big Brother" at bay a liitle longer.
