Spyware, in the broadest sense, can be defined as software which collects information about a computer user's activities without his or her knowledge. It is often installed in a computer without the user's knowledge.
Spyware programs can collect various kinds of personal information regarding the users of the computer and may also interfere with user's control of the computer in several ways.
