What is Malware?
Short for malicious software,
malware is specifically designed to damage or disrupt normal
system functions. Viruses are an extreme example of malware,
but most often users will see issues caused by other forms
of malware, such as spyware and adware. While not as overtly
harmful to the system, they can sometimes be more detrimental
to the day-to-day use of your machine.
Two of the more popular malware protection applications
are Spybot and Ad-Aware. It is
important to understand we cannot assume liability for these
programs as they can cause problems with some programs on
your computer (usually programs that have some built-in component
of spyware). But we strongly recommend installing SpyBot
and Ad-Aware, and running them at least once a week.

Remember that these two applications should be updated
before you run them each time.
