General Disclaimer - Happy Online would like to remind all visitors that they are responsible for their own computer settings - some suggestions may not work on some computers and may result in errors - you should only make changes to your computer if you are comfortable with any consequences that may arise.

Unfortunately, there are lots of different types of spyware (which are installed for different purposes) and there is no way to be sure on how each one operates and what measures you can take to protect your privacy.

Some forms of Spyware look at your surfing habits and/or try to force you to visit certain sites, or place pop-up ads(ads are sometimes based on surfing activity) in front of you when surfing.

As far as protecting your info - obviously, you can make sure that you do not have any data on your PC such as passwords, credit card details etc and when you surf the web you can avoid entering any details that could be picked up by spyware.

However, I suggest that you do not give up on the idea of removing Spyware from your PC - if you have run some software that removes Spyware but does not work give feedback to the software providers - hopefully they may be able to offer you some tips. (They may also be able to give you information on what the Spyware on your PC is doing and you will then be able to judge how secure you need to be when surfing the web.)

The companies that produce software that removes Spyware will be grateful for your feedback - this is their business and they will want reports of when there services does not effectively clean up PCs.
