If you are worried about adware/spyware threats on your PC, or if your system has succumbed to adware already, your main goal is to protect your computer. When performing a search of spyware removal programs, you are most likely bombarded with tons of results. In fact, a quick Google search of spyware removal programs provides 1,630,000 results. Of course, these are not all spyware removal programs, but you can see from the results that it can be quite a challenge to find the right program to meet your specific needs. The question that comes up quite often is do free spyware removal programs have a change against BHO.akm threats and other spyware?  Well, yes and no. Let me explain.

There are several very good free spyware removal programs on the market, many of which do an excellent job of removing spyware from your computer, but here’s the thing.

Free software is just not up to par in comparison to paid software and in some cases it can make the situation worse. Free software is usually spyware – that’s right. You may notice the advertisements after you have downloaded a free spyware program. They’re getting their few free moments of fame after you have installed the program. Not all developers of free spyware removal software go this route, but just think: something that’s supposed to help you combat a problem, actually contributing to it.

There are a few things that you should look for when purchasing spyware removal software:

1. Ad-free software. Your software should be 100% spyware and virus free. It sounds silly, but it happens. You should install a clean and safe program to help you fix your problem.
2. Firewall and anti-virus software compatible. Your software should be compatible, so you do not have to disable these security programs.
3. Customer Service/Support. If you run into a problem, there should be support available to you.
4. Real-time updates. Your software should be able to prevent any further spyware from infecting your computer.

The spyware removal software you choose is an important decision. If you’re not sure, do some research. Ask friends or colleagues. You could save yourself some time and money.
