Sometimes spyware is installed at the same time you are installing other programs, its happening more and more now. Even to the point where some programs wont work if you uninstall the spyware that came with it, so you might need to read the info files for some of your programs before you uninstall anything. If you download the free spyware remover called ‘Ad Aware’, you will see what spyware is on your computer, and it should show where it is, and sometimes whether or not it is safe to uninstall or delete it.
