Spyware

Spyware is a type of malware that is installed on computers

and that collects information about users without their knowledge.

The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user.

Typically, spyware is secretly installed on the user's personal computer.

Sometimes, however, spywares such as key loggers are installed by

the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer on purpose in

order to secretly monitor other users.

While the term spyware suggests software that secretly monitors the

user's behavior, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple

monitoring. Spyware programs can collect various types of personal

information, such as Internet surfing habits and sites that have been

visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other

ways, such as installing additional software and redirecting Web

browser activity. Spyware is known to change computer settings,

resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and/or

loss of Internet or functionality of other programs. In an attempt to

increase the understanding of spyware, a more formal classification

of its included software types is captured under the term privacy-invasive software.

In response to the emergence of spyware, a small industry has sprung

up dealing in anti-spyware software. Running anti-spyware software has

become a widely recognized element of computer security practices for

computers, especially those running Microsoft Windows. A number

of jurisdictions have passed anti-spyware laws, which usually target any

software that is surreptitiously installed to control a user's computer.
