My Spyware Nightmare ?" A Lesson for You
Summary
Spyware can be more than just annoying; it can be downright destructive. I faced this firsthand when my brand-new computer inexplicably slowed down. Here’s my story and what you can learn from it.
Troublesome Questions
If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not alone:
1. Why is my new computer so slow?
2. Why does a simple word processor take ages to load?
3. Why am I inundated with pop-ups?
4. Why am I being redirected to strange websites?
5. Where are these embarrassing pop-ups coming from?
These were the very questions that plagued me.
My Tale of Woe
Years ago, we purchased an eMachine for my wife, who had just enrolled in school. Despite my initial doubts, the computer performed admirably?"until it didn't.
Months later, the computer slowed dramatically. I blamed the eMachine and our dial-up connection. But even offline, applications lagged terribly. Mysterious windows opened at awkward times, some leading to inappropriate sites. As a parent, I queried my sons, suspecting they had visited these sites. They denied it?"but they were teenagers, after all.
Gradually, the eMachine became unusable, and we returned to our old HP. The eMachine was almost forgotten until I decided to take action. I researched online, installed a pop-up blocker, and sought answers from forums. Unfortunately, it was too late?"the computer was beyond saving, and its warranty had expired.
When the monitor unexpectedly went blank, I assumed the worst: another eMachine failure. Testing the monitor on the HP ruled this out, leaving me embarrassed. When I took the eMachine for repairs, I learned it was beyond recovery. A second opinion confirmed this, and the device was lost for good.
Lightning Strikes Twice
In early 2005, I bought another computer. Alarmingly, it soon exhibited the same symptoms: slowness, pop-ups, and unwanted redirects. This time, I acted quickly, searching for immediate solutions. Late one night, I finally found a product that worked. From that point on, spyware was no longer a threat.
