Avoiding Spyware and Malware
Spyware and malware are types of computer programs that can potentially
harm your computer and make the information it contains vulnerable to
security risks. There are many ways to prevent spyware and malware from
infecting your computer. For example, you can use anti-virus software to
secure, check, and/or clean up your computer from these forms of malicious
software.
For a list of compatible anti-spyware and anti-malware software programs,
