Every once in a while on the internet, you come across some free software and game that look interesting.

Your first thought is "there's no risk, it's free"

WRONG!

The way most software and games developer monetize their "free" program is by installing sub-program that will either collect your browsing information to send it to a third party or by presenting you with unasked advertising that "pop" out on your screen or by installing a toolbar a the top of your browser that do nothing else than reducing your view space.

Here's some easy ways to remove these sneaky program from your computer right now:

• When installing any software or game, make sure your read the installation process, some software will ask you if you want to install some extra features, simply uncheck the box for the installation of any extra unknown tool then main one you intended to use. You will still be able to use the main program while leaving your computer clean.

• Do not worry about multimedia file. Picture, audio and video file cannot be programmed to install spyware and malware like game and software can

• Go download Spybot search and destroy right now, Spybot search and destroy is a free and safe spyware and malware removal software that will clean a lot of these sneaky program that plague your computer. This probably won't get rid of everything but for a free service, it's doing a great job.

• To be 100% sure everything is clean and run smoothly, I highly suggest you get your computer scanned by NoAdware. You can try it for free right now. In my opinion, there's no better spyware removal software to get rid of all the unwanted spywares that are stored on your hard drive.

• Be aware that some program might not work if you remove the spyware and malware they come with. Get rid of it anyway. You can always find another software that will not try to spy on you and that will do the same job...some time you might have to pay a couple of buck instead of having a free one, it still worth it in the long term. Never compromise your privacy.
