Hello,

I come to find the following signs of spyware I hope it will help you:

1. Slow computer. PC or network is slow. And it takes longer to shut down or boot;
2 .A new toolbar may appear you have never seen before;
3 .A new desktop shortcut;
4 .A new default homepage;
5 .Error pages. Let’s say when a definite URL you looked for can't be detected.

Regards
Rbos ;)

Hey, all!

I think these things could be included into the list of spyware indications as well:
1.Getting pop-up ads when your browser is not running;
2.Antispyware program stops working properly;
3.A new item appearing in your Favorites list without permission;
4.What is important to note that everything appears to be normal, but scan the system constantly;
5.The system runs slower;

Be accurate!
Regards

Let's say you're getting a lot of bounced back mail and e-mails are being sent without your knowledge this is the symptom of spyware as well.
