    I am very tight on computer security. I run a full nightly scan for viruses, malware and spyware as well as having in place other security features such as firewall etc.

    Because security is professionally so important and confidentiality vital I run an additional manual Spyware scan every week with some different software that is updated just before the 'run'.

    I have just run this additional scan and I have found more spyware than ever before, 121 items found and deleted from my pc.

    One in particular had 80 instances and was labelled: Fraud.Facebook.Messenger and is a 'trojan'.

    I am no expert and do not know exactly how serious that infection was but it shows how important it is to run extra scans.

    I recommend to everyone to obtain some extra anti-spyware software in addition to your normal antivirus and to run that regularly.

    I use AVG (paid for) as my main anti-virus and malware protection which I find excellent and the additional anti-spyware I use is Spybot which is a free download and can be obtained from downloads.com along with other options.

    You really cannot be too careful.
