Spyware is a technical name for any software that tracks the user’s activities without user’s permission; when he is online and passes the information to a third party. Spywares are programs, which use your computer without your permission or knowledge, and try to accumulate our private information and use our own computer resources to relay it to someone else. Another potential problem is that many Spywares are poorly written, “contains bugs or errors”, and can cause problems with the normal operation of your computer, because of which the web-browser experiences “General Protection Faults”, hangs, or freezes it may be due to one or more of these types of programs interfering with its proper function. Spywares come in the Trojan horse category of viruses. Spywares are distributed mainly through the Internet, via freeware downloads or through underground hacker sites. Spywares are also sometimes bundled along with some commercial software, as a means to track the usage of the software
