A spyware is a hardware used to obtain information from a computer without permission of the user. Usually, spywares are installed in computers without the owner's knowledge of it. There are several methods by which spywares manage to infiltrate computers, some of which include hiding itself in a piece of desired software, disguising itself as a piece of security software (with the user downloading the spyware unsuspectingly), and slipping through security holes in web browsers and software.

Computers affected by spywares have been reported to have noticeably decreased performance levels. Computer stability has also been raised as an issue, with application and systems breakdown growing common among spyware infected systems. Spywares also significantly slow down computers by creating unnecessary activities and using up disk space. Even graver are issues on identity theft and fraud generated by these spywares.
