Download and install reputable adware removal software. Adware removal programs are easy-to-use programs designed to scan your computer for ad-supported software components or "scumware" and remove them.

Just a word of warning, however, there are a lot of so-called spyware removal programs out there that then infect your computer with their own spyware! That's why we recommend either AdAware by LavaSoftUSA or Spybot S&D from Safer-Networking. Neither of these programs run ads or put other spyware on your computer. Best of all, both offer free downloads for personal use!

HOW DO I GET RID OF PARASITES?

When you return to this page, you will have full access to this site. It's easy!

Another option you have is to use a browser that isn't prone to parasites the way that Internet Explorer has always been. We use Mozilla Firefox browser, in particular the latest release is always the best one to get. Other gecko-based browsers are also good options including the browsers created by non-profit, open source like Netscape or Mozilla.org. If you decide on the Mozilla browser, get the latest release with no letters on the end, i.e. don't get 1.6b or 1.6a, as these are beta or alpha versions and not fully tested as yet.

WHAT ARE PARASITES?

Every month millions of people agree to terms-of-service contracts they didn't read and are later surprised to find their computers are being used by little-known companies to distribute advertisements, monitor online behavior, or use their processor and bandwidth. Some of these "free" programs install "parasites" on the user's computer. Besides degrading performance, these parasites can cause errors, open security holes, and alter site links.

The author of the detection script used on this site, Andrew Clover, http://www.doxdesk.com, describes parasites:

"There are a lot of dodgy programs out there that may get installed on users' computers without their knowledge or consent. Many applications described as "freeware" come infested with parasitic software that latch onto the web browser, providing little or no benefit to the user." These programs can:

plague the user with unwanted advertising ('adware');
add advertising links to web pages, for which the author does not get paid;
use the website author's content, without approval, to redirect you to sites without your full consent and without the site author's knowledge;
watch everything the user does on-line and send information back to marketing companies ('spyware');
leave security holes whereby arbitrary code can be executed on the user's computer (typically this is used to allow the program to update itself); if the software does not make proper use of cryptographic authentication, it could be possible for hackers as well as the responsible company to execute arbitrary code; and
degrade your computer system's performance and cause errors. "

These parasite programs can also cause pop-ups to appear when the site owner may not even have them.

We hope you have found this information both interesting and informative. We recommend that you run your adware removal software at least once a week to keep your system clean and performing properly.

After clearing spyware infection parasites click here to access this site or bookmark DebtSteps.com and try again at your convenience!

We are taking these measures to stop these unscrupulous software developers. They are using surfers for spying and theft of their system resources, as well as corrupting content and links on web sites.
