I get approached often enough about adware problems that I decided to write this article about how to get adware off of your computer and keep it off.

One of the most frequent problems computer users face today is adware. This comes in a variety of forms, and has a variety of ill effects. Most people don't realize they have adware installed -- they assume the ads that are appearing on their computer are related to the websites they are viewing, but this is not always the case.

In extreme cases of adware infection, your computer slows to a crawl, to a point where you are frustrated and simply ready to buy a new computer. But this isn't a long-term solution -- even on your new computer, if you continue your web browsing habits without any changes, you will likely be infected again and have the same problems within a couple of months.

There are two things you have to do: find and remove the adware, and then learn how to avoid it in the first place.
