The Internet is a very wonderful thing. Arguably one of mankind's greatest inventions, the Internet changed the way modern man conducts his business, have fun, communicate with his fellow man; the Internet changed the way he lived. A single personal computer hooked up to a network cable is enough to open a world of knowledge and possibilities.

Because of the recent outbreak of spyware, there have been many anti-spyware programs flooding the market. Some are free, and some may require you to pay. You might say free is the best, but when it comes to spyware protection, maybe you should think twice.

Several "free" anti-spywares out there are actually spywares themselves. Once you install them into your system, they will start their programmed task of bogging down your computer while sending out various information about your system to the Internet. Some spywares that are more malicious even take sensitive information outside, leaving you open to cyber attacks from other malicious software. Others cripple your system so that you will not be able to use it properly, causing you to just reformat your computer. If you haven't backed up your files, then you're pretty much shafted.

You should be really careful when downloading free spyware protection programs. A good anti-spyware program is one that is able to detect, remove, and prevent spyware from infecting your computer. There are many free anti-spyware programs out there that are really free and do not contain any spyware. Some of them are even considered by others to be almost as good as the commercial ones.

Aside from word of mouth from your friends, you can use several reputable websites that review programs.

If you're wary about installing anything on your computer, then you can try web-based spyware scanners instead. You only have to visit a website, click on the scanner, and it will automatically scan the system for you without installing anything.
