Describe spyware and computer monitoring software.
(41) 
VerifiedThe most dangerous type of privacy threat comes in the form of spyware. The term spyware is used to describe a wide range of programs that are designed to secretly record and report an individual's activities on the Internet. Some of these programs can even make changes to your browser in order to deceive you and manipulate what you see online. Computer monitoring software, also known as keystroke loggers, is perhaps the most invasive and dangerous type of spyware. These programs record every activity and keystroke made on your computer system, including credit card numbers, passwords, and e-mail messages. Computer monitoring software can be deposited onto your hard drive without your knowledge by a malicious website or by someone installing the program directly onto your computer. While such software is deadly in the hands of criminals, it can be legally used by companies monitoring employees or law enforcement officials who are collecting evidence.
Spy removal programs are designed to detect and remove various types of privacy threats.
