Why has there been such a fuss about spyware recently? The increasing awareness of identity fraud has meant people are taking online security much more seriously now. Right now you could be unwittingly transmitting personal information about yourself across the Internet. Spyware programs have been designed by programmers to infect computers and retrieve personal data without the owner's knowledge. They can record passwords and even get access to your personal details such as credit cards. It's like someone looking over your shoulder at everything you do on your PC.

The first way to protect yourself against this type of threat is to reduce your risk of exposure. Don't download music, games or shareware unless it is from a trusted source. Even utilities that appear useful, such as a free web download accelerator, maybe bundled with spyware.

The next step is to use anti spyware software that can detect and remove spyware from your computer. There are a number of different free spyware products that you can choose from and it is worthwhile reading the latest computer magazine reviews to find out which is currently the best product available. There are also paid products available that enjoy a good reputation, one of which is Spyware Doctor.

The software is available on an annual subscription, which will allow full access to the full suite of capabilities of the product. But say you want to get hold of free Spyware Doctor software that you can start using straight away. First of all you can download the scanner, which locates spyware on your PC. This scanner is free. If you are knowledgeable about computers you can then manually delete any problems that the scanner finds.
