What's a spyware?

[@SourceCode@]

Spyware, which includes malware, trackware and adware, is the categorical name for any application that may track your online and/or offline PC activity and is capable of locally saving or transmitting those findings for third parties sometimes with but more often without your knowledge or consent.

Anyone that uses a computer is susceptible to spyware infection. Your online actions, whether you're surfing the Internet or checking e-mail, can attract spyware files, applications or programs. These programs find their way onto your system and install themselves in several possible places on your PC, including your registry, start up menu, files and folders. Many spyware programs ensure their survival by sprinkling traces of the program throughout your system to make full removal more difficult (and sometimes nearly impossible). Once installed, spyware operates silently in the background.

Spyware jumps onto a PC in a number of ways. It can be installed by a hacker or someone who uses your computer, through a pop-up window or ad, via an instant messenger service, or delivered through a spam e-mail or an attachment in e-mail. File-sharing programs and swapping music, photos or other files are also well-known avenues for spyware infection. Sometimes spyware is bundled with a desired program, and is disclosed in buried text as part of the end-user-license agreement (EULA). These days, spyware may hop onto your system when you visit certain web sites.
