As an IT professional, I come across some interesting computer security concerns. There was a report about the anti-virus xp 2008 malware and then I got it. I was surfing the web and wam, I got this malware downloaded to my laptop. It took over two hours to get rid of this pest. Now would be a good time to backup your important data on your laptop and desktop computers. You will not be sorry that you did. We have too many free storage services available today, so you do not have an excuse. This malware got through my firewall and disabled my norton anti-virus program. This link will take you to a tutorial on how to remove this pest, enjoy:

If your computer has been accessing the Internet unprotected it is infected. Spyware has surpassed viruses as the #1 threat to identity theft and without protection your Internet activities are never private.

Spyware is a big mess. A lot of the time, it takes longer to clean off your computer. Most times, pc users just go out and purchase new hardware because the pricing is so low.
