ZookaWare releases tips on how to identify a spyware or adware problem on PCs. Quick detection is important when dealing with any type of malware, as the malware itself and the problems it is creating tend to multiply at an alarming rate.
Tips on Identifying a Spyware or Adware Problem on PCs:

2. Internet surfing has slowed down
3. Excessive pop up windows
4. Pop up windows on unrelated topics/services
5. Periodically press CTL+ALT+DELETE. This will bring up the Task Manager. Click on Processes. Look each of the processes up on the internet. Don’t trust all the info that pops up in a general search, but use what you find to attempt to determine if processes currently running on your computer may have malicious intent.
6. Open a command window (DOS box) by clicking Start – Run – cmd. Type in the following command: netstat – an . This will show you a list of the systems you are connected to, those connected to you and any listening ports (You can find common port numbers online, but 80 and 443 typically refer to the web and 135, 139, and 445 are typically referencing Microsoft networks).
