Does your computer continuously give you pop-ups, even when you are not surfing the internet? Does your computer seem slower than it used to be. Well, one reason could be that your system is plagued with spy-ware and ad-ware.

<\/o><\/span><\/p>\n

My computer did not find any threats, so there were no threats to clear, but once they appear you can click on next and the application will allow you to select the ones you would like to remove. I have had computers that had over 11,000 viruses, adware, and spyware. In this case this application would freeze half-way through the scan (due to it storing too much information in the pagefile). If this happens to you you can try increasing your page file of your computer by following this tutorial<\/a>. If it still freezes, you can stop during the scan. You have the ability to click next to remove the threats before the scan is completed. This will allow you to reomve what it has found so far and reboot to clear your page file.\u00a0 This concludes this tutorial. I hope it was easy to follow. Thanks for reading.<\/o><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
