The problem with my computer is that some unnecessary software have been installed automatically. What antivirus software should to use to find spam software and remove them?
Hello Betsy
Spams are malware which makes your life hell on the system. Sometimes they use up lots of resources of the machine or sometimes they just compromise the security of the system. To combat with their menace, there are lots of anti-virus in the market which give special emphasis to anti-spamming. Norton 360 , Kaspersky, Panda, AVG to name a few. For specifically spamming, you can use certain tools like, SPAMFighter, http://www.spamfighter.com/SPAMfighter/anti_spam_software.asp?gclid=CM2H8qPdobICFQp76wodxjIAow or SPAM Agent http://www.anti-spam-software.com/ They should solve the problem that you are facing.
Happy Computing 🙂

Actually, there are software that when you install on your computer will install additional applications and you will only notice it after the installation. And if you forget about it overtime, you may think that those applications are spam but are actually not. But if you think the applications on your computer are really mysterious because you did not install them yourself, you can use Norton Internet Security to scan your computer for known spam programs.
