How U doing ?

Let me guess, you haven't updated even your antivirus in awhile or performed a full system scan in ages ? Right ?
Uh huhh.... you are in that much trouble no doubt and better get an antispyware program installed immediately and perform 'spring cleaning' - as no doubt in today's computing you have probably been spied on in the "social engineering" manner of the cyber criminal "gum shoes" that comb public places see you gabbing away and somewhere between the lines that see that green light go ahead statement you made ...."No I hardly ever scan or update.... you donl;t really need it".
Well, antivirus does NOT get rid of "spyware". I know you probably already left this blog but your next question should have been "what the hell is spyware". Right ?

Well, here are some ditties they can infect your machine with to spy on you (aside from your gabbing self damming public mouth) very easily by tricking you into visiting a site or an email or a photo or movie and on and on ..... THREATS:

Yep.... that is a small handful of very common things that your computer is probably completely infested with. Still gabbing ?

Take a look at a much fuller list of the full real world full blown infestation present in people's computers that "no, I rarely hardly ever scan with anything. no I never update rarely hardly ever - I don't even know how to or how to do a full scan and I donl;t really want to..." (pc suicide). ....
