Spyware refers to types of software programs down loaded to a consumer’s personal computer either as a stand-alone application or as part of a bundle. It collects information about a consumer’s internet activities or other personal information without providing meaningful notice to the consumer or obtaining the consumer’s consent. While the term spyware suggests software that secretly monitors the user’s behavior the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring. Instead, spyware gets on a system through deception of the user or through exploitation of software vulnerabilities.
