How did you get infected with the Spicystart.com hijacker? Usually, this type of infections travels the web bundled with other programs. The bundling technique is quite famous among crooks because it is easy and effective. But it is so effective not because of them, but because most people throw caution to the wind when installing programs. This is a mistake. Keeping your PC clean requires time and attention.

For example, when you install apps do you opt for the Custom or for the Basic settings? If you choose the latter, you must change your habits. The Basic settings are completely automatic and you do not have any control over the installation. If there are some additionally attached programs in the bundle, they get installed with no problem. The Custom settings, on the other hand, give you the chance to see and deselect all extras before you finish the installation. They just take a little bit more time but they could also save you tons of future problems.
