Spyware Removal without deploying Antispyware Software on your PC

Spyware is basically a software program with an ability to monitor your keystrokes, collect confidential personal information, etc. without your knowledge.
Keeping that notion in my head, I did a little more research and zeroed in on a few symptoms that could easily let me know when my system could be infected with spyware.
• Firstly, pop-up advertisements when browsing through the Internet
• Change in Home Page or search page settings without my knowledge with no option to modify them.
• System running at a slow speed
These symptoms are an indication that my system is infected with spyware. And there is certainly no time for me to ponder or fret over it; I need to get immediate solutions! I generally use a Windows Defender to get rid of this nasty problem. With experience, I have realized that Windows Defender is a good and efficient tool to remove spyware.
Features
What makes Windows Defender my first choice? A couple of reasons, for starters Defender by-default is integrated with all versions of Windows Vista and is also available to download for Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions. Even more, it can be downloaded with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later versions as well. Over time, this software has protected my computer from pop-ups and other security threats, eliminated the chances of a slow running system etc. caused by spyware programs by detecting and removing spywares from my PC.
The USP of Windows Defender is a monitoring system known as Real-Time Protection.
Usability
I have used other products in the past but I remain steadfast to Windows Defender because it is user-friendly and is a no-nonsense program. I can schedule the scanning time at my own discretion and yeah, most importantly, if I remove some program unintentionally by mistake, I can always easily retrieve it back. I also like the way the software program continuously runs in the background to safeguard my PC and check for spyware penetration when I am working on something important and don’t have time to continuously keep a check on it. Windows Defender runs automatically in the background.
Limitations
However, Windows Defender might be quite a problem at times because it does not install in every Windows operating systems. It has to be compatible with certain specific hardware configurations and depends on the Windows operating system running in a PC.
