What is Spyware, Adware and Malware?

Spyware is software that is capable of performing certain operations on your computer without your permission, such as displaying advertisements, collecting your personal information, or changing the configuration of your computer. The main purpose of spyware is to collect personal information and details of your surfing habits from your computer, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware is downloaded onto your computer without your knowledge and performs covert activities. Spyware programs are often bundled as an unknown component of other programs downloaded from the Internet.

Adware is software that displays advertisements. This does not mean that any software that provides advertisements or tracks your on-line activities is adware. For example, you may install a free ad-supported version of software, and you "pay" for the service by agreeing to receive targeted advertisements. If you understand the terms and agree to them, you may have decided that it is a fair tradeoff. You may also have agreed to let the company track your online activities to determine which advertisements to show you. The advertisements may also contain pornographic or other material that you might find inappropriate. The extra processing required to track you or to display advertisements can tax your computer and hurt your computer's performance.

Malware is software that is designed to affect the performance of your computer, it can slow it down, cause it to crash, or take private files and information from your hard drive. Malware is usually poorly-programmed and can cause your computer to become unbearably slow and unstable in addition to all the other havoc they wreak. Many of them will reinstall themselves even after you think you have removed them, or hide themselves deep within Windows, making them very difficult to clean.
