Spyware, adware, and malware are all malicious, they are different. Spyware is a malicious program that spies on you. Adware is a software that tracks your browsing habits and sends pop up ads to you. Malware is malicious software that includes worms Trojan horses, and viruses. You can download any of these without realizing it as they are often hidden in emails or on websites.
