How did my computer get infected with Badware?

0

There are dozens of ways your computer could have been infected. Here are the most common ways: 1) You may have accidentally download a malicious file from the internet that was in fact Badware. 2) You may have installed a program that had Badware “bundled” to it. Some free programs on the internet are “sponsored” by advertising – often times that means Badware! Kazaa is a good example. 3) You may have tried to download a video and before it played it asked you to “acquire a license” and then install something. This is all over the internet and it is done by a company called Zango. The debate is still out if it is in fact Badware, but please read the SiteAdvisor report on Zango and decide for yourself. There is a VERY GOOD CHANCE your computer has Badware on it. Read on to learn to remove it!
