Pop-up Ads Are Not All That Innocent
As strange as it sounds, I kind of liked the pop-up ads which began appearing on my new computer. They were often for products I was curious about, so I clicked on many of them. Soon my computer began slowing down, pages were freezing, and there were so many ads that surfing became a chore. I did some research and found that those advertisements were not so innocent and could be gathering my personal information in addition to bogging down my laptop. I wasted no time in finding good spyware removal software and running it. These days I am a lot more careful about where I click.
