I get asked many basic questions about computers.
As a result I have decided to write a monthly column on computer related subjects and post them here on my website for you.

This column may become a weekly event if the interest is there and I may even turn it into a forum.
Computers are technical by nature, so some of the information presented here may get a little technical.

Don't be afraid of it.

I will try to keep things as basic and easy to understand as possible.

The idea is to bring the information to you, so you can become more informed about your PC and therefore become more technical.

If you have a question you would like answered e-mail me at familytech@cox.net

80% of the problems I get called to fix are caused by the same thing.

ADWARE, SPYWARE AND MALWARE

OK... right now you're saying "Robert that's not one thing, that's three things."

Actually it is three types of ware that generally work together and are referred to as one.
Normally we just say "you have Adware on your PC" to describe all three.

Adware in itself is not a bad thing; adware out of control can stop your PC cold!

If your PC is running slower and slower; If you get pop-ups every time you open your browser or e-mail; If your Internet connection is not what it use to be; you probably have adware and spyware on your PC.

If you feel you may have adware on your system click the "Remove adware" link to find out how to remove all adware and spyware from your PC.
