1172=Surveillance Software is a potentially greater and more dangerous threat than viruses because it can record your keystrokes, history, passwords, and other confidential and private information and then send that information to the creator. Surveillance Software is often sold as a spouse monitor, child monitor, surveillance tool or a tool to spy on users trying to gain unauthorized access. Surveillance Software covertly gathers user information and monitors activity without the user's knowledge. You do not have to be connected to the Internet to be spied on. Some software will save logs to be transmitted later. The latest Surveillance Software includes the use of e-mail to mail out user activity or posting information on the web where the creator can view the information at their leisure. Some Surveillance Software vendors go as far as using "stealth routines" and "polymorphic" techniques to avoid detection and removal by popular anti-spy software. In conclusion, Surveillance Software is a program that takes your information and then sends that information to another user on the internet.
1173=Thiefware is software that pops up on sites and does not pay or even give credit to the web page owner. It can also redirect a search or web page to the web page of their choosing. This practice is not illegal although many web site owners believe it to be unethical.
1174=A parasite is an organism that lives off it's host. In the computer world, it is unsolicited commercial software or programs that get installed on your computer without your consent. These are not always harmful however, they are installed for someone else's profit and an invasion of privacy.
1175=Parasiteware is the term for any adware that by default overwrites certain affiliate tracking links. Their behavior is viewed as parasitic because this type of software credits other sites with commissions and in turn lives off what would have been the affiliate's income. To the end user, Parasiteware is not a big security threat.
1176=Scumware is a slang word for any unwanted software or programs installed on your computer.
1177=A keylogger is any program that records every detail of what is done on your computer down to the keystroke on the keyboard. They record this information in a log and can send that log to a server with your information. Keyloggers can record information such as passwords, credit card information, and personal identification numbers if entered into the keyboard while these programs are running.
1178=Hijackers are applications that attempt to take control of the user's home page and reset it with the site of the hijacker's choosing. This site is almost always loaded with ads, pop - ups, and/or other make-money-fast portals. They are a low security threat, however annoying they may be. Many hijackers use stealth techniques or misleading dialogue boxes to perform installation. Hijacker programs will put a reference to themselves in the StartUp or Registry, so that the hijacker reinstalls itself every time the computer is started. If the user tries to change any of these settings, the hijacker then changes them back upon reboot.
1179=Trojans or Trojan Horses are programs that appear to be innocuous even beneficial, but in fact, are harmful! They get this name from the Trojan Horse that was used in a war by the Greeks to gain access to the city of Troy. It looked like a gift of a giant wooden horse, but actually concealed soliders inside. Much like that horse, these programs appear to benefit you but, turn out to be harmful. The harmful contents could be anything from a virus to a RAT (Remote Administrative Tool). Trojans are designed to cause loss or theft of computer data, and to destroy the system. Trojans can also be distributed as email attachments, or bundled with other software programs.
1180=A Browser Helper Object is a small program that runs automatically every time you start your Internet browser. Usually, a BHO is installed on your system by another software program. BHOs are typically installed by toolbar accessories and can track your internet usage and collect other information that is used on the internet.
1181=Drive-by downloads are accomplished by providing a misleading dialogue box or other stealth installation. Many times users have no idea they have installed an application.
1182=Malware is software designed specifically to disrupt the normal operation of the computer system. A trojan horse or a virus could be classified as Malware. Some advertising software can be malicious in that it tries to re-install itself after you remove it.
1183=A dialer is software that installs itself to your dial-up settings and dials to the number of its choosing. Once dialer software is downloaded the user is disconnected from their Internet service provider and another phone number is dialed and the user is billed for the time used. While they may not spy on users, they are malicious in nature and can rack up expensive and unwanted bills.
1184=Any software that targets anti-spyware software in an effort to not be detected. They may also use various other hiding techniques such as using common system file names. Spyware software that actively attacks a detection program or programs in an effort to prevent detection. Retrospies are malicious and usually use other types of deception to avoid detection.
1185=Another name for spyware software, Snoopware refers to the act of snooping. It can track what you do on the internet and report it to a server or collect personal information and report that to a server.
1186=SPAM is unsolicited commercial e-mail or the junk mail you get in your regular inbox.
1187=RATs (Remote Administration Tools), allow an attacker to gain unrestricted access to your computer whenever you are online. The attacker can perform activities such as file transfers, adding/deleting files or programs, and controlling the mouse and keyboard.
1188=Rogue Active X are scripts that run on websites and either install software on the PC without the users knowledge or open a gateway onto the users hard drive to access files in an attempt to delete and modify them as they will.
1189=Software that grabs e-mails either from e-mail or off the Internet and then sends e-mail either to or from those e-mail addresses.
1190=Any software that uses System resources to proliferate itself or use the system as a resource for other systems.
1191=SearchPage Hijackers take control over your default search engine. This doesn't mean you cannot use your favorite search engine, it means that when you mistype something, their search page will pop-up. This generally includes alot of advertisements and generally contains a search engine that will deliver advertising content rather then relevant search results.
1192=Adware is any software application in which advertising banners are displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen. The justification for adware is that it helps recover programming development cost and helps to hold down the cost for the user. Adware has been criticized for occasionally including code that tracks a user's personal information and passes it on to third parties, without the user's authorization or knowledge.
