I have been working at a computer technician for about 15 years. After my own computer was destroyed by Spyware and my identity stolen, I made an effort to study some of the best anti spyware, adware, and virus removers on the internet. I know how difficult it can be to lose everything on your hard drive - I had about 5000 songs in my directory that took years to compile! With my advice hopefully the same will not happen to you.
