I had been using an anti-spyware product called ewido for severas months. It did a pretty good job. They got bought by AVG, the well-known antivirus makers and so came out with an updated version.
I decided to upgrade on my home computer (it was still free, I like that), but started noticing a decrease in performance in my computer. Everywhere I surfed it just kept getting slower and slower. At first I thought it was SpySweeper, another anti-spyware product (this one paid for), so I tried adjusting it’s settings because I had played around with them the week before. I thought perhaps I had set them back wrong.
Nope.
Then I remembered that I installed AVG’s product. Funny thing is that I didn’t have it running. Having two spyware products running at the same time on your computer is a no-no, so I thought I was covered.
After uninstalling AVG, my surfing came back to its original speed. It was really getting frustrating there for a few days.
