To be clear, when I say spyware software in this case, I’m talking about the stuff that infects you rather than the stuff that cleans up these infections. Spyware comes in varied forms and can attack you in different ways. Obviously, this means that some infections are worse than others.
Often called Trojans, spyware will do one or a combination of three things. It will almost always give you pop-up ads and will always compromise your computer’s security and integrity. It can also hijack your browser and redirect you to pages it wants you to see. It can also download more spyware and adware, sometimes even viruses. It can also provide a backdoor for hackers to take control of your computer. All in all, it’s bad news.
