Things that slow down your computer

What is Malware/Spyware?
Malware & Spyware is software that does not specifically damage your system and in many cases can provide a function that you will use. The problem with malware/spyware is that it often slows your computer/internet speed while it performs additional tasks that are usually detailed in the user agreement (which is often never read), in addition to the function you wanted. These additional tasks are many and diverse but an example would be to track your website browsing habits in order to create a profile of you to be sold to 3rd party advertisers or even to push adverts directly to you every time you use the internet.
