The major challenge of spyware is that it is extremely difficult to remove. Spyware programs can contain hundreds of bits of individual code that are cumbersome, difficult and risky to manually remove. The uninstallers of most spyware programs do not usually completely uninstall the program, they can include self-protection mechanisms such as reinstallers, they have constant re-writes to the registry, and can even have two copies of the program running at the same time to protect each other.
The easiest way to remove spyware is to install an anti-spyware solution that detects and removes all pieces of spyware. eTrust™ PestPatrol® Anti-Spyware offers a comprehensive solution that both detects and removes a wide range of spyware, adware, and other non-viral malicious code to protect your confidential data and the performance of your PC. |
