Spyware Info
Spyware is a type of program that watches what users do with their computer and then sends that information over the internet. More benign programs can attempt to track what types of websites a user visits and send this information to an advertisement agency. More malicious versions can try to record what a user types to try to intercept passwords or credit card numbers. Yet other versions simply launch popup advertisements. Spyware sometimes is installed with toolbars.
