  SPYWARE DAMAGES YOUR PC!

  Spyware is a generic term describing any software that secretly installs onto a computer or local network. It sneaks in the background without your permission and performs illegal activities that can cause damage to your PC. Usually Spyware monitors your PC and delivers the information to third parties.

  Once installed, Spyware software can do almost everything. Your personal information like e-mail addresses and credit cards can be monitored, snatched up and delivered to third parties without your knowledge. Spyware is evolving into a monster that might soon become more vicious than e-mail spam and virus attacks combined. Spyware is a technological problem and users need a strong defense to combat it. Let's observe how Spyware can harm your PC.

  Spyware can closely resemble computer viruses, but with some important differences. Many spyware programs install without the user's knowledge or consent. In both cases, system instability commonly results.

  A virus, however, replicates itself: it spreads copies of itself to other computers if it can. Spyware generally does not self-replicate. Whereas a virus relies on users with poor security habits in order to spread, and spreads so far as possible in an unobtrusive way (in order to avoid detection and removal), spyware usually relies on persuading ignorant or credulous users to download and install itself by offering some kind of bait.

  A typical piece of spyware installs itself in such a way that it starts every time the computer boots up (using CPU cycles and RAM, and reducing stability), and runs at all times, monitoring Internet usage and delivering targeted advertising to the affected system. It does not, however, attempt to replicate onto other computers — it functions as a parasite but not as an infection.
