Spyware is a frequently occurring word in technology circles these days, with menacing undertones. Spyware is software that downloads onto your computer piggybacked onto other downloads you requested. Spyware software comes in many forms: adware, malware, and pop-up ads. Each of these forms to about the same thing: they infect your computer no matter how new and complex your firewall or virus blocker happens to be. They slip by these protections because they look just like a part of the program you requested.
They infect your personal computer and can contaminate important system files. Spyware retards the rate at which your computer runs, making it very slow and difficult to use. Spyware can crash your system, ruining important data and possibly ruining your system forever. Spyware relays where you spend time browsing on the internet, profiles your internet shopping habits, and will even transmit your credit card and social security numbers back to the publisher of the spyware. If they choose not to exploit your personal information themselves, they may choose to sell it to a third party, at whose discretion you will be victim.

Routes of Spyware Infection
Unlike a virus or a worm, Spyware does not spread from computer to computer. An infect system will not attempt to transmit the Spyware to another computer. The Spyware will reside covertly in the operating system and load itself to the system memory and run in the background carrying out its deadly task of compiling user information and personal data such as usernames and passwords as well as credit card information. Spyware, like a virus or worm, will make entries in various parts of the registry in order to operate. This slows the system down and must be cleaned with a Spyware Virus removal tool from time to time in addition to using registry cleaner utilities to secure the system.
