"Spyware" is a term used to describe various programs that can be used to monitor a computer user's activities. While it may be beneficial in some cases, such as allowing a parent to track their kids' activities or allowing an employer to make sure their employees aren't conducting personal activities during work hours, most instances of spyware are used for malicious purposes. Common tactics include retrieving an unsuspecting user's credit card or bank account information, usernames and passwords, web browsing habits, or entire email messages. Spyware can infect a computer via email attachments or downloaded software, and can even gain access when the user visits a website that is hosting spyware on its server. Additionally, spyware programs can hide on a computer by mimicking the names of legitimate files, and can be difficult to remove.
