Yes!
Once they come they stay and create lots of problem while surfing. You might havelots of pop up windows. Your browser might get hacked and re-routed and some other very serious problems.
Hope this helps.

Definitely a pain in the rear! Unfortunately warranties don’t help with spyware so you’ll either need to find a repair tech or you can try some tech’s online.
I’ve had a LOT of luck with this guy:
. He’s got a lot of experience clearing spyware and he can work with you to take remote control of your machine via the internet, (securly and with your permission of course).
The advantage here is you won’t have to take your machine and leave it someplace (unless he determines your machine as being unrecoverable and in need of a reformat) and you can watch everything he does.
Good luck!

I think it’s because you haven’t downloaded any anti-virus programs.
I personally do NOT have any of those programs because I had no virus problems for the last few months and anti-virus programs slow your computer down - CONSDIERABLY! But if you are worried, then I suggest you download Ad-Adware, AVG Free Edition, or/and Spybot.

WAIT!!!!!
while it is true that you may have a spyware or adware infection do NOT click on links on the internet telling you this as they are spyware or adware
download the recommended virus protection programs and run them seperately
