What are Spyware or Adware?

Most of our computers contain Adware or Spyware. These are programs that sometimes install themselves to make these annoying advertisement. Also, spying on your privacy (they are not viruses, they just annoy you, slow your connection and sometimes change your home page). They come from some programs you install or from some music sites.

A spyware may take partial control over the user's interaction with the computer, without the user's consent/approval.

Difference between Adware and Spyware:

As I said, an adware is just responsible for displaying alot of ads (advertisments) on your pc, during browsing or during using some programs such as kazaa. A spyware is a more annoying program which can collect personal information about you. A spyware can redirect your browser to websites blindly that will cause more harmful viruses and it can change your computer settings and really slow it up.

An Anti-Adware program is a software that can detect all these programs and delets them. It prevents any attempts to download those annoying programs to your computer and simply prevent malicious components from ever adding themselves to your computer in the first place.
