Ensuring your system is clean of spyware and viruses is essential to a stable computer. Be sure an anti-virus is installed and working with up-to-date definitions on your system.

You should also ensure your system is clean and free of any possible spyware. One of the best programs for this is [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]. This program comes in several different versions, including a portable version. SUPERAntiSpyware will scan for any potential spyware issues and clean them from your system for you. It's not recommended to run this in the background consistently as your anti-virus program would. Simply run it once a month along with your regular monthly maintenance. | |||
