Spyware is a program installed on your computer, usually without your explicit

habits and details to companies. Companies use this information to analyze
browsing habits, to gather marketing data, and to sell your information to others.
Key logger programs try to capture and steal your passwords and watch and
record everything you do on your computer.
Adware programs typically display blinking advertisements or pop-up windows
when you perform a certain action. Adware programs are often installed in
exchange for another service, such as the right to use a program without paying
for it.
