How Can You Tell If Your PC Has Spyware
The short answer is you can’t. Spyware by definition is undetectable by computer users. However there are some telling symptoms that may be caused by a spyware infection.
• numerous popup advertisements, even on Internet sites that don’t usually have ads
• the browser home page changes unexpectedly and won’t change back
• new and unfamiliar toolbars appear in the browser
• additional icons appear at the corner of the screen where the clock is
• the browser takes you to websites you don’t want to be in the first place
