Now how will you know that you are infected with adware or spyware? First, you will notice that when you’re surfing the net you will experience the endless pop-up windows. Sometimes you are redirected to other site rather than what you typed into the browser. There are new toolbars appearing in the web browser and new icons that appear in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. There are also sudden changes like browser’s homepage and when you click search, the search engine browser changes. You will also notice that the performance of your computer and the processing suddenly slow down.

Be aware also of the free software that you download because some of them might be adware and spyware. And this may add up to your problem.
Now how can you prevent this adware from infecting your computer?
While browsing the internet, do not click pop-up windows that contain advertisements because these pop-up windows sometimes are product of adware or spyware. If you click this, it may install the adware software on your computer.

Don’t wait for this adware to infect your computer, once you prompt to install adware close it immediately.
