I have heard a lot of people having problems with spyware lately.Just recently i downloaded and installed this program that silently installed a SPAMLINK (http://SPAM). i started getting popups that says my computer contains spyware and directs me to site to get rid of the spyware. Also my desktop wallpaper was changed to a black screen containing the message "our computer is infected with smitfraud virus/spyware, click here for removal". This stuff can do annoying things like replace your favorite websites' advertisements with ones generated by the SPAMLINK (http://SPAM) company. Some of these advertisements can install even more sPAMLINKyware (http://SPAM) onto your computer causing your computer to crash or create additional popups every time you surf the web. The threat to your computer privacy and safety from unknown sources on the Internet is increasing at an alarming rate. Not only are you subject to attacks from viruses and worms that try to harm your computer, you are being scanned by advertising companies every second that seek to know your surfing habits. i tried running this software i downloaded from SPAMLINK and really did a great job. i hope this helps! :)
