Viruses & Spyware
Protect your machine, protect yourself
Spyware
Spyware and Malware are software remotely installed (usually unknowingly) for the purpose of gathering user information. Virus protection programs don't protect you from most spyware/malware. We recommend using Malwarebytes free personal version.
Get Malwarebytes:
 from the official site and use the free version to scan for malware. The Pro version provides real time protection and is not required if you already have an anti-virus program such as Symantec.Â
