Spyware definition
Stand-alone programs that can secretly monitor system activity. These may detect passwords or other confidential information and transmit them to another computer.
Spyware can be downloaded from websites (typically in shareware or freeware), email messages, and instant messengers. A user may unknowingly trigger spyware by accepting an End User License Agreement from a software program linked to the spyware.
