Spyware is a dangerous type of software that can be installed onto your computer, and can record emails, chat conversations, web sites visited, and data entered into documents and web site windows. These programs can record your account numbers, user names, passwords, and everything that else that is typed on your computer. These programs transmit the recorded information to whomever is spying on your system, giving them access to everything about you.

Adware is software that can be installed on your computer from peer to peer file sharing programs, or message boxes on websites asking "Do you wish to install..., signed by ..." These programs can record website statistics, such as where you navigate, what you search for, and the rate of which you click on certain links. Adware creates pop up ads, turning your computer into a virtual billboard based on your Internet surfing habits. These programs can also change your Internet homepage to a strange website and prevent you from changing it back to your desired home page. Adware can even go as far to have your modem dial premium rate phone numbers and stick you with the bill.

Both Spyware and Adware can be installed onto your computer without your consent and can be incredibly difficult to remove. In addition to the obvious threats of these malicious programs, they can also cause your system even more harm due to programming conflicts. Some components are programmed with bugs that error depending on your computer configuration, so when they are secretly loaded, they can crash your web browser or other applications, rendering your computer useless.

How does Spyware and Adware get on my computer?

     There are many ways that these programs can get into your system. They can be installed by another person who wants to monitor your computer, using the “Would you like to install...signed by...” installation technique, pretending to be a legitimate software provider and taking advantage of Internet Explorer’s ActiveX option, which simply installs itself when you visit a website that hosts the adware. Some of the more malicious programs install themselves by exploiting security holes in Internet Explorer.  Regardless, these programs are most often installed without your consent and knowledge.

Some brief definitions of common infections:

Adware: Adware can do a number of different things to your system. It can monitor and profile your web usage and direct pop up ads based on your surfing habits. Most peer-to-peer file sharing programs come bundled with Adware and the user is only notified of this is in the fine print of the End User License Agreement. Adware is not as dangerous as other infections but it can be incredibly annoying. These are the types of programs that download files onto you computer by saying they are necessary for certain websites to work, or without even notifying you at all. They can take up your computers resources and are largely responsible for the countless pop-up ads you receive on the web.

Browser Hijackers: A Browser Hijacking Object or "BHO" is a program that takes over your Internet Browser. It can reset your homepage to the vendor's own website, or insert toolbars into your browser that also link the user to the vendor's products or website. BHO's can even go as far as to make a query that is entered into a search engine report results that link only to the vendor's products. 

Dialers: Dialer software is not spyware but can be the most costly to the user. This software can make the users modem dial long-distance or premium rate phone numbers for an extended period of time. The result is that the user can get stuck with an enormous phone bill.

Malware: Malware is short for Malicious Software. This type of program is specifically designed to disrupt your computer system. Their function is to disrupt the normal operations of your computer in order to perform their own. These programs can be very difficult to delete and often try to re-install themselves after deletion.

Spyware: Spyware is a much more dangerous form of infection. Spyware can  record your keystrokes, internet history, passwords, user names, and account numbers. It is often sold as a spouse monitor, child monitor, surveillance program, or simply as a way to gain unauthorized access to another person's system. Spyware is designed to gather activity information without the user's knowledge or consent, and then reports this information back to the spy. Everything you do on your computer is available to the person who is spying on you, and you DO NOT have to be connected to the Internet in order to be spied on. Some Spyware is programmed to store data in a hidden file, and only the person spying on you can access it. Other spyware programs are designed to wait until you sign on before sending the recorded information via email or uploading it to a special website. In either case, spyware can record 24/7 regardless of Internet connectivity. SpyBuster is designed to seek out these programs and destroy them.
