Brow­ser Hel­per Ob­jects

Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) are designed to add a feature to your browser, like reading PDFs. Malware uses BHOs to infect your computer.

Spyware is any software that is designed to watch you and see what you are doing. Unlike malware, which affects the way your system works, spyware simply sits in the back, waiting for you to enter any personal information as it watches vigilantly. Once you have typed some personal or financial information in your browser, the spyware can trace your activity and use this information against you. Some spyware is simply used for marketing and advertising purposes, and can run for years without being detected. Call the Nerds today to get your computer clean of any spyware and keep your personal information safe!
