Tomo sent me a list of his top 5 ways to keep your computer free of Spyware. At the same time, I was lucky enough to receive a savings to pass along to all of you for SuperAntiSpyware!

This is “tomo30″ from your chat room. I wanted to take you up on the top 5 list. This will help people with the best ways to fight spyware.

  • Go on the offensive. Fight spyware before it even arrives on your computer. Make sure you have a good ‘anti-virus software’ program running on your PC. Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) now offer anti-virus programs or even purchasing a commercial product is to your advantage. Get a program or product that is regularly updated to fend off the latest viruses, adware, worms, trojans and spyware. One excellent program is SuperAntiSpyware, which you can save $10.00 on by clicking the link for that to purchase.
  • Put up a Firewall. A Firewall should be one of your first lines of defense against spyware. A Firewall is simply a system or gateway designed to prevent unauthorized access to your computer or network. Check out ZoneAlarm or Comodo, they provide a free Firewall for individual users. Download their program and place it on your PC.
  • Don’t open Emails and Attachments from people you don’t know. Use common sense, DON’T open any emails from people you don’t know. Especially, do not open any Attachments until they are scanned for spyware and viruses. Many mail servers will do these scans for free.
  • Keep Your Operating System Up to Date. Be aware of what’s on your system: do regular spyware and adware scans to see exactly what’s on your computer. Know your machine! You may be horrified to learn someone may be monitoring your every ‘keystroke’ and every ‘image’ you’ve viewed on your computer. So scan regularly and also make sure you download the newest updates from your Operating System; these often contain patches or fixes for serious breaches of security on your PC.
  • Back-up Your System. If all the above steps fail, nothing is foolproof, any computer that uses the Internet can be hacked, so you need to back-up your important data. You can use floppy disks, CDs or use a second computer that’s not connected to the net just for storage or back-up of you sensitive data/programs. An inexpensive notebook computer can be used to make daily/weekly back-ups of your vital data and programs.

Be safe, be smart. Make sure to check out the great savings on SuperAntiSpyware!
