Best Answer

Spyware is usually incorporated in with other software such as a P2P file sharing program similar to Kazaa. BonziBuddy is a well known spyware which was installed this way.

The user would install Kazaa, not reading the EULA which gave an option to install BonziBuddy along with the Kazaa software; the user would simply click YES, click NEXT and unknowingly installing BonziBuddy as well.

This is why it's important to READ CAREFULLY the directions when installing software.
