This has happened to all of us at some point, especially me. Malware and spyware just ruin the whole day sometimes trying to get problem fixed. Internet pop-ups, weird quirky things start to happen to your computer, or it just starts slowing down because of malware or spyware. Some of you may even call your IT friend who is good with computers. You don’t need to anymore. There are a few software utilities out there that will try to detect and remove malware, or spyware from your pc. They are free, some come with an upgraded version if you decide to pay. My three free favorites are Adware, Windows defender, and Spybot. Spybot is my favorite, it’s helped me a lot when I get malware or spyware on my pc. Download these utilities and see if your malware or spyware will just disappear. If so no more needing to call your IT friend. Saves you both time and money (if you were paying him/her in the first place).

1. Ad-ware – Not sure about the continuous protection on the free version, but it has a good tool to remove existing malware and spyware from your pc.

2. Windows Defender – Continuous protection, if you already have spyware, or malware on your pc it’s not the best tool to remove it though.

3. Spybot- Continuous protection, and it a very good tool to remove those stubborn malware or spyware crap of your pc.
