I have been using a computer for a long time now, back in my
early days I used to use windows XP. Using the computer for me was
more than a hobby but a learning experience. It was simply a way to
not only connect with the rest of the world but to also learn about
pretty much anything. Whenever I was curious about a certain subject
I would just search on Google, and more than likely I would find a
webpage that contained great information about the subject. From
browsing various websites, my computer constantly got infected with
malware. Back in my early days online I had no idea what malware
was. Of course when I say malware, I actually mean both spyware and
adware. At first I had no idea I was infected, until I started to
see some strange symptoms. Of course the one symptom I saw the most
was pop-up advertisements constantly up. After first I thought these
advertisements were from the websites and fouls, as in they were
appearing the legitimately but they started appearing without me
even opening my Internet browser. 
I
knew something was wrong because this was in no way normal for a
computer to do. So I started doing some reading and figured out that
I have been infected by spyware. So I looked for a solution to this
problem and what I found was adaware. Back in the days adaware, was
the best anti-spyware and ad aware program. It simply did its job
and it removed both the spyware and the ad aware, without a problem.
I used it for years until something horrible happened. The program
completely changed. It was no longer the same old program that did
its job but it now for no reason whatsoever took longer to scan and
did not seem to pick up any of the infections at all. I had no idea
why the company would do this to the very good program. This program
was so good that everyone on the Internet at one point used it. Well
like always times have changed and this program is now among the
worst for spyware removal. So I started looking around on the
Internet for another program to remove my spyware and adware, and
what I found was malwarebytes. I was simply surprised at how well
this program worked. I mean, it was like in up dated adaware but it
worked. It worked and still to this day works very well, in fact I
recommend this program to all of my friends and relatives to install
on their computer to keep them protected from spyware and adware.
This program is just so simply awesome that I cannot put into words
how much it has help me out. But of course the best part is that
there is a free version available that will scan your computer and
remove any malware it detects. The paid version is relatively cheap
at only $25 and to protect your computer in real time. The minute an
infection is detected it will block it and swiftly you remove it. It
does the same for websites, it blocks out any connection to a
website that has been marked as not legitimate or risky.
