Spyware is a type of malware that is installed on computers and that collects information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user. Typically, spyware is secretly installed on the user's personal computer. Sometimes, however, spywares such as keyloggers are installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer on purpose in order to secretly monitor other users.

So, are you posting portions of a Computer Science essay project that you're working on or just trying to increase your post count?
Yes, spyware is very dangerous for the computer but we can secure our computer from these types of spyware with the antispyware softwares like kaspersky, avast, panda etc.
