Computer Running Slowly — Adware & Spyware
In the article before this (Computer Running Slowly), I wrote about extra programs running in the background, slowing up your computer.
Sometimes, those programs are malicious. They may want to reroute your searches to their own site. They may want to spy on you. They may want to use your computer to send spam.

Some of them even replace the advertising that you would have seen on a web site.
Why are they doing all of this? Money.
