Is it Smart to Remove Spyware on My Own?

In short, YES! It's a great idea to remove spyware on your own for several reasons. Yes, you can take your computer to your local Best Buy or Circuit City, but why go through the hassle of doing that when you can fix your spyware problems on your own?

1. Can you afford to be without your computer for several days?

Chances are, if you take your computer to a big electronics store to get fixed, it can take several days, depending on the severity of your problem, how busy they are and how many technicians they have available to work on computers. There are probably dozens of other people with spyware problems just like yourself ahead of you in line.

Removing the spyware yourself means that you get your problem fixed that day, sometimes in an hour or less.

2. Are you willing to risk strangers peering into your private files?

If you're like most people, you probably have more than a few files that you'd rather not have anyone else see. These might be financial records, credit card information, pornography, pirated music and movies, company data, inappropriate pictures of your significant others, the list goes on. When you take your computer to someone else to be fixed, you always run the risk that this person will snoop around your computer and look at things they probably shouldn't.

Using a spyware removal tool yourself means that your files stay with you and you're safe from a potentially embarrassing or even career-ending privacy mishap.

3. Do you want to risk possibly being overcharged?

Getting a computer fixed is similar to getting a car fixed. Sure, there are some of honest mechanics out there, but there are probably way more unscrupulous ones. It's not unusual for a person to take their car in to get a routine problem fixed, only to find several hundred dollars worth of unexpected charges added to the bill due to problems they either made up or you hadn't forseen.

It's possible that in the process of removing the spyware from your computer, the technician finds other problems that need to be fixed such as your registry or malfunctioning drivers. Or maybe your technician decides to erase everything from your computer and reinstall everything from scratch. That will take extra time and cost you extra money. It's not unusual for spyware problems to end up costing well over $300 in labor.

Using an anti-spyware removal tool means you only have to pay a fraction of that cost to get rid of it yourself.
