What is spyware

Adware, spyware and computer viruses have some similarities in problems for computer users. Let us distinguish the three types of computer problems.

Spyware is software that is not so harmful to your computer. Spyware has the disturbing nature by creating pathways in which someone other than the computer owner can communicate with the computer.

Spyware usually record a variety of Web sites you visit which is then used by irresponsible people, such as web advertisers to send you unsolicited emails or pop-up ads.

That is why spyware are usually avoided. They are more annoying than adware. Spyware have their own separate executable programs and makes it possible to record your keyboard keystrokes, scan files on your hard disk and look at other applications you use.

spyware then will send all the information has been gathered to the spyware author. The agent will then use this information for purposes of advertising and marketing. They even sell the information to advertisers and other parties.
