When spyware applications have found a way to infect your computer, you may begin to notice one or more of the common spyware symptoms listed below.

• Your computer is slowing down to a crawl. This happens because spyware applications use computer resources just as any other application does.
• Your Internet connection is slowing down to a crawl. This happens because some spyware applications transmit information over the Internet, using your valuable Internet access to track your computing habits.
• Annoying popup advertisements are popping up on your computer, even when you are not even browsing the Internet.
• Your computer mysteriously dials phone numbers during the middle of the night, usually calling expensive adult numbers and other cost-per-minute phone lines, leaving you with the bill.
• Your Internet browser starts acting in a different manner like redirecting you to unfamiliar sites when performing a search, modifying your start page, adding sites to your Favorites, adding new toolbars, and other strange behavior.
