Spyware is classified as software that runs in the background, collecting information on your computer as you use it. Typical spyware tracks websites you visit, passwords you use, and credit cards that you enter into websites. The most benign form of spyware simply collects your Surfing habits, to be used by advertisers to sell you stuff you might be interested in, while malicious spyware can steal your identity, your money, or your deepest secrets.
