What is Spyware? |
|
Answer» Spyware is a kind of malware that enters your computer or mobile device and gathers information about you, including the sites you visit, the stuff you download, your username and password, payment information, and email correspondence. It's no surprise that spyware is sneaky. It sneaks into your computer without your permission or knowledge and joins your operating system. You may even agree to the terms of a seemingly legitimate program without reading the fine print, in which case spyware may be installed on your computer. Despite the various methods spyware can utilise to infiltrate your computer, the method of operation is always the same—it runs quietly in the background, staying secret, gathering data or monitoring your activity in order to inflict harm on your machine or your activities. Even if you discover its undesirable presence on your machine, Spyware does not have an easy uninstall feature. |
