We all exploit the internet, and odds-on, spend 2-3 hours on it a day. It is the preeminent invention, thanks to Al Gore, that has taken place in the last 50 years. It is up there with the telephone, and electricity. But with the internet has come a lot of computer problems. And most of these computer problems can be fixed with a windows registry repair.

Is your computer running slow? Does it take a long time to boot up? Are you experiencing random program crashes and shutdowns? Are you afraid to turn on your computer because of annoying pop up advertisements that you have to close every 30 seconds?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are possibly suffering from an incursion of spyware. And you are not alone. According to a recent survey by CNN, 90% of computers linked to the internet have some sort of spyware. The majority people aren't even conscious of its continuation until it is too late, and their computer barely runs.

More than a few computer users have upwards of 1000 dissimilar spyware infections, ranging from cookies to Trojan horses. Spyware can also range in hazard levels. Some spyware simply track your browsing habits, while others have the ability to steal your personal information. Passwords and credit card information are in the middle of the targets of the worst spyware.

You don't in essence need to have downloaded anything to have spyware on your PC. Even though the preponderance common source of spyware are downloaded file sharing programs such as Kazaa and BearShare, spyware can also install itself unswervingly from a web page. This is what is called a 'drive by' installation, and can come about in moments without notifying you.

So if you're asking yourself, "Why is my computer running so sluggish?" you're presumably looking for an answer. What can you do to get your computer running like new, AND guard yourself from possible identity thieves? The answer is simple, thanks to advanced software that removes spyware automatically, and even prevents it from installing itself in the future. One such program is ParetoLogic's XoftSpySE.
