Spyware! That’s one word that pops up whenever we talk about PC security. Although there are hundreds of spyware detectors and fixing softwares with some of them pretty effective too (e.g. AdAware , SpyBotS&D etc). However its always a good idea to have a light monitor program running in your tray which can detect a possible spyware right at the time of its creation. Spy-The-Spy is just that!
Pros of Spy the Spy
1. Monitors your PC
As soon as the tool detects an executable file being created it makes you aware of that. Often it may be yourself installing an application but on other occasions it proves to be of great use when it helps you detect the spywares before they can do any serious damage to your PC.
2. Performance friendly
It does not consume much of your resources while it runs in the tray
3. Can monitor specific folders

Here’s what you can do to ensure that your computer stays free from viruses and on top of it, if at all your computer gets infected then also, you’ll be able to save your data.
1. Keep the data on other partitions : Always make sure that you keep all the files on hard disk partition other than the windows one. This way, if the virus hits that drive then the data on the other drive will be still safe. Although the viruses have become smart but still it’s still better. Here’s the guide to keep the My Documents in other drive, in case you use My Documents a lot.
2. Install 1st level of Anti-virus : I’m a big supporter of installing two anti-virus software. Although, many people just don’t except it but believe me do the way I’m suggesting you and feel more safe and secure. Download AVG Free anti-virus and install it as normal with all the features enabled.
3. Install 2nd level of Anti-virus : Download Avast free anti-virus however, ensure that you disable its real time scanner. Disable each and every option of automatic scan, email scan, Internet scanner or just about any scanner because we want to use it as On-Demand scanner only and so, schedule it to scan the computer once every week.
4. Install a firewall : Install a free firewall software to ensure that you keep yourself away from those Trojans and hack attacks which we normally don’t come to know without installing a firewall. Comodo firewall pro is a very good firewall software and completely free of cost.
5. Install an anti-rootkit software : Rootkits will be the biggest threat in future. Although they are still not out at huge scale but still its better to keep a software running to stay safe from these pesky little and dangerous stuff. AVG’s free anti-rootkit is recommended by me.
