Spyware can be called invisible software because you don’t see it when it’s loading, but you sure as heck see evidence of it once it’s on your computer, collecting and transmitting data without a trace in the early stages. You soon begin to notice strange occurrences that let you know something is not right. When your computer is infected with spyware/adware, you really could care less how it got there, you want it gone. You can get rid of BHO.akb adware once and for all with a good spyware removal program.

I would say, don’t even waste your time trying to manually remove adware. There are so many places for adware to hide that you can’t possible get it all manually. Like a cancer, you want to cut it all out in order to keep it from coming back.

Free spyware removal software is readily available to you and they do a decent job or removing most of the adware. Again, you want to be 100% certain that it’s gone for good.

Once you have removed all traces of spyware from your computer, to be certain that you don’t fall into the trap again, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Never download ANYTHING from unknown sources. This could be from free files sharing sites for movies, videos, music, etc.
2. Pay attention to the warning signs “This program is from an unknown source. Your system could be at risk.”  If you receive a pop ups that looks real, but you’re not sure, investigate it before downloading. Developers try to scare you into downloading adware by telling you this.
3. If you are using Internet Explorer, consider using another program. IE is known for contracting adware because of holes in their security system. Mozilla FireFox is a great choice.

Be smart when it comes to protecting your computer. Pay attention to things that don’t look quite right because they usually aren’t. Most importantly, install updates when you are notified. They provide these for a reason.
