Spyware is any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or
her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be
downloaded from the Internet. You may also find them among cookies or even java. Once installed, the Spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that
information in the background to somewhere else. |
