Final Discussion

Now your computer has been cleaned and protected from spyware, spam, adware, and viruses. The tools and techniques discussed in this tutorial will help you maintain a computer that is free of all computer menaces. Make sure you scan your computer using the spyware and adware tools at least once a month, as well as with your antivirus application. Also, take care that you read the fine print when you sign up for things on the Internet to make sure you know what a company will do with your personal information. Create two or more e-mail accounts so you do not have to give out your personal e-mail account to Web sites. Doing so will greatly reduce the amount of spam that you receive with your personal messages.
