15. SPYWARE
Spyware is a type of malware (or “ malicious software”) that collects and shares information
about a computer or network without the user’s consent. It can be installed as a hidden com-
ponent of genuine software packages or via traditional malware vectors such as deceptive ads,
websites, email, instant messages, as well as direct file-sharing connections. Unlike other types of
malware, spyware is heavily used not only by criminal organizations, but also by unscrupulous
advertisers and companies who use spyware to collect market data from users without their
consent. Regardless of its source, spyware runs hidden from the user and is often difficult to
detect, but can lead to symptoms such as degraded system performance and a high frequency of
unwanted behaviour (pop-ups, rerouted browser homepage, search results, etc.).
