1-Spyware can be very irritating and dangerous because they have certain executable
software's that can take a look or even log your keystrokes when you are in an important
website which in tern later send the information back to the hacker.  Then the hacker will
basically sell the information that he has gathered to advertiser companies that look for
leads in the field that they are working in.

The main purpose of Spyware is to install the program and to keep a track of your usage on
what you are doing.  One of the main things that company's use Spyware is to gather
information of the person and what website they are going to, so that they can send you
spam mails and pop-ups.

2-Adware is that you download and install the program and you don't know what else it is
installing and Spyware usually installs itself with out you even knowing that it did.



3-Spyware is software that gets installed on your PC by you downloading something from the
