Spyware Definitions List

The adware and spyware definitions list is very long. But definitions listed below are most common ones. This is a glossary of spyware facts and terms so you'll know what these malicious programs are and what they can do to your computer. Adware Adware components are generally installed along with a shareware or freeware programs you download. The adware developer creates pop up windows that generate advertisement revenue for them. Most adware components are actually installed with consent from user. This happens because most people never read end-user license agreement that comes with software. Spyware Spyware is most often installed bundled with freeware or shareware, much like adware. Spyware programs gather and transmit sensitive and personal information about your online behavior to an unknown party. The data is collected without you even knowing it happened. By time you discover it, damage is done and hacker is long gone. Browser Hijackers Browser hijackers are innocently installed as helpful browser toolbars. They can alter your browser settings and can change your default home page to point to a site that generates revenue for hijacker. Trojan Horse Programs Trojan horse programs sneak into your system and run without you realizing it similar to spyware. Programmers use these programs for any number of malicious uses and not one of them you would approve of. The good thing is Trojan horse programs do not duplicate themselves.
