Spyware Issues

Q3. An application stopped working after I removed spyware from my computer. What can I do?

Applications that install spyware may stop working if you remove the spyware from the application. You have two options:

1. Stop using the application and uninstall it.
2. If you still want to use the application, do the following:
   1. Instead of removing the spyware, move it to the Quarantine.
   2. When you want to use the application, restore the spyware from the Quarantine.
      Note: Restored spyware starts to work again and can spy your computer and show advertising pop-ups.
   3. You may also want to deny the spyware from connecting to the Internet by using Application Control in the Internet Shield.
