Spyware and adware are non-viral applications (surveillance tools) that are loaded without the user's knowledge and can monitor computer activity including keystroke tracking and capture, email logging, instant message usage and snapshots. Spyware comes in many shapes and sizes: some are simply an annoyance while others threaten security. Here are some common types of spyware:

• Spyware - tracks information about you, your computer, and your surfing habits.
• Adware - displays unwanted advertising that can slow your computer to a crawl.
• Keyloggers - record every keystroke you make, then steal your passwords and other personal data.
• Browser Hijackers - can change your homepage and search results.
• Remote Access Trojans (RATS) - allows attackers to remotely control your computer.

A computer virus is a form of malicious software also referred to as malware. (Malware is a word derived from the combination of the words malicious, and software).

• Viruses - a small program that attaches itself to another program or document and replicates with the potential to cause damage.
• Worms - specifically engineered to make extensive use of email to spread them rapidly.
• Trojans - programs that pretend to be something harmless but have a damaging or otherwise malicious intent.
• Zombies - programs that install themselves on machines, and remain dormant until some external event triggers them into action. Actions could include doing damage, or stealing your information and sending it to some predefined email account, or opening up remote control access portals to your machines.

A. The type of damage they can do varies dramatically. Some of them do a great deal of damage to files, or even destroy the contents of your hard drives. Others install programs intended to corrupt or steal information from your machine.
