Adwares and spywares are softwares that can get installed in your computer when you are surfing the internet. An adware shows you unwanted advertisements without your permission while a spyware spies on your activities. Adware and spyware slow down your computer. This is because they use your memory space, CPU and bandwidth to run their own activities of retrieving advertisements from the net. You get annoying pop ups every now and then. Spyware can also steal your password and if you are making online financial transactions then it can be a disaster.

There are some sites that lure you with promises of free wallpapers and other stuff. Be wary of these. These are the places from where you contract the maximum number of adware and spyware. You should never download anything from the net unless you are sure that it is completely safe. Adware and spyware can not only steal personal information and make unwanted advertisements pop every now and then but also cause your system to crash if they remain in your PC for a long enough time.
