Spyware is malicious software that secretly collects personal information from a computer without the user's knowledge or consent. This information can include browsing habits, keystrokes, login credentials, and financial data, which is then sent to a third party for various purposes, such as identity theft or targeted advertising. It can infiltrate devices by being bundled with free software, hidden in malicious links, or disguised as legitimate updates.

How it works

Infiltration: Spyware can be installed by tricking users into downloading it through attachments, bundled with other software, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the system.

Information gathering: Once installed, it operates in the background to monitor user activity. This can include logging keystrokes, capturing screenshots, and tracking browsing history.

Data transmission: The collected information is then secretly transmitted to a remote server, often without the user's knowledge.
