What is Spyware?

Spyware is a term for software that stealth installs on computer systems without the user's knowledge that allows companies or people to monitor the user's computer or internet activity. This monitoring may include keyboard strokes, website visits, form submissions, email addresses, passwords or even bank account details. Spyware can infect computers systems by:

• Clicking a Pop up window
• Opening a spy carrying email attachment
• Exploiting a security flaw
• Visiting a website which has a drive-by-download. 1 in 62 domains perform drive-by-downloads. Websites that offer pirated software are the worst offenders.
• Downloading a spy hidden in another program. 5% of downloadable programs contain piggybacked spyware. Freeware, peer-to-peer networks, pirated games, crack files, movie and celebrity websites pose the greatest risk.
