Though it seems pretty simple, not many people even know what adware and spyware really is.
Spyware (normally server-side code or browser cookies), gets installed through your browser whilst you are surfing the internet or visiting certain dodgy websites.
Another known way for spyware to get onto your computer is through peer-to-peer programs like Limewire, Kazaa, Bearshare, etc. You HAVE to be extremely careful what you download from there.

It’s quite simple why people have invented adware and spyware software. Ever since there has been privacy, malicious people have been trying to invade it.
Much like the battle between good and evil, it will always be a never ending cycle. It’s an obvious fact that those people or companies behind spyware have bad intentions.
Think about it…
What good reason is there that would justify software to run in the background to monitor your every move? The simple answer is, None!
