Prevent Spyware – The Easy Way

Spyware has taken center stage this week at the State and Federal level. Two new bills are designed to combat the ever growing nuisance on spyware.

I offer the easiest solution to the spyware problem…

Use an Alternative Browser

Stop using Internet Explorer and switch to another browser. I recommend Firefox. It’s the most compatible browser to Internet Explorer and it will prevent or cut down on spyware.

The Firefox browser is also new, utilizing the latest browser technologies. Internet Explorer is 3 years old. I just read that Microsoft will stop making new versions of Internet Explorer for people who have older versions of Windows.

Once again…more reasons to switch to an alternative browser. Read my recent post about why I switched.

There’s even a movement online about switching to other browsers.

Another recommended method for getting rid of spyware is to remove it. Download Ad-Aware and/or Spybot. Run these applications regularly to eliminate spyware.
