AOL Spyware Protection
If you don't have protection against spyware and adware, your computer is at risk.
Annoying pop-ups can cover your screen, steal your connection, change your preferences and slow down your computer. More seriously, spyware can steal your personal information, putting you at risk of identity theft.
AOL Spyware Protection helps keep your machines safer and more secure
It can help you to find and disable a wide range of security threats, nuisance software and web tracking programs. And the best thing is that it's free to AOL members.
AOL Spyware Protection offers four levels of protection:
- An automatic memory scan looks for spyware and adware that may be running silently in memory
- Scans in less than a second for any new programs that have been downloaded or attempted to reinstall themselves
- An automatic quick scan takes just a few seconds to check for more than 28,000 known types of spyware and adware
- A full scan performs a thorough review of your entire hard drive
