Virues, adware and spyware top the list of computer problems in the Internet age. These nasty buggers can slow down you computer, steal information and wreak havoc on a PC. Make sure you have a good antivirus, spyware program and firewall in place. If you are infected try downloading Malwarebytes AntiMalware and scanning your computer.

On Windows computers, the most common problems are caused by viruses and trojans, malware which damages the operation of the computer. On other platforms (Linux, Mac OSX, etc) most problems are caused by hardware failure (hard drives wearing out, bad memory, and power supply issues.)
