Everyone has some sort of routine they follow, for most people it includes getting up, and getting ready to go to work. Some people also have a routine that they follow when they sit down at their computer. Mine goes something like login, check email, reply to emails, read some news sites, check out 2-3 forums, reply to threads, personal messages, then scan to remove spyware.

Even though it is usually the last step in my virtual routine, it is by far the most important. Well, maybe after checking my email. No matter where it is in my routine, it is still important.

I usually let people know about my routine, and the usual response to my spyware removal habits are "you have too much time on your hands" or "I don't even know how to do that". These responses really surprise me because it is so easy to remove spyware. On another note, it does not take long and can run in the background of your computer.

This habit and integration into my routine has secured my computer a long, healthy, "fast" life so to speak. It is an extra step that most people overlook or don't even consider. I know most homes in Canada or USA don't even have any programs that remove spyware, which is sad. This is why I'm raising awareness.

A good way to start is to run your anti-spyware applications on a certain day. Pick any day during the week. Let's choose Monday for example. Most people don't like Monday, so this makes this a good example. So imagine it's Monday and you just came home from work, you are tired, the boss wants the TPS report finished by tomorrow morning and you haven't started and you wish you could just be happy. Well Remove Spyware! Doing this somehow makes people happy. Run Ad-Aware, kill all that stupid spyware, remove it, and delete it! Then run Spybot S&D, zap and kill the rest of the stranglers that Ad-Aware missed. Now that you have a faster, better running PC, you can feel rest assured you will have that report finished on time, without ad popping up.

I hope this article motivates you to integrate spyware removal into your weekly routine. It will ensure your computer runs at optimum performance for a long time.
