WinAntiSpyware Adware is spyware, which is used to spy or track
your computer activity. According to Wikipedia
(wikipedia.org):
In the field of computing, the
term spyware refers to a broad category of malicious
software designed to intercept or take partial control
of a computer's operation without the informed consent
of that machine's owner or legitimate user. While the
term taken literally suggests software that
surreptitiously monitors the user, it has come to refer
more broadly to software that subverts the computer's
operation for the benefit of a third party.
In simpler terms, spyware is a type of program that
watches what users do with their computer and then sends
that information over the internet. Spyware can collect
many different types of information about a user. More
benign programs can attempt to track what types of
websites a user visits and send this information to an
advertisement agency. More malicious versions can try to
record what a user types to try to intercept passwords
or credit card numbers. Yet other versions simply launch
popup advertisements.
