The number of spywares is increasing day by day; so do the damage by them. Spywares can badly damage a business by data spying, creating network problems, causing system failures and by damaging the business reputation. Getting yourself free from spywares require good knowledge, commonsense and control.

• Most (all) spywares uses human weaknesses such as greed, anxiety, preference to cheap (free) products, etc to get themselves in and establish on computers and networks. So take any decision after thinking twice or thrice.
• Never share your personal/business information with unknown sites or software.
• When you look for cheap alternatives of systems, try to find and use systems from market leader or companies which you know well.
• Avoid software with confusing or mimicking names.
• Use a quality spyware detecting program and do regular scanning. As said, use the system from market leader; it may cost high, but it can be more secure and reliable.
• Limit software downloads; and download programs only after making sure that they are not spywares.
• Avoid browsing unknown zones on internet. When ever you enter a site, access its quality with its appearance, loading nature, links, etc. One easy way to do so is to use Google toolbar with PageRank. Sites with high pagerank can be trusted.
