Spyware
Spyware is malicious software that 
enters a user's computer, gathers 
data from the device and user, and 
sends it to third parties without 
their consent. 

Spyware can also refer to legitimate 
software that monitors your data 
for commercial purposes like 
advertising. However, malicious 
spyware is explicitly used to
