Introduction

Spyware is a serious problem that plagues millions of computers each year. Spyware bears many similarities to viruses, in that both use stealth tactics or social engineering to infiltrate one’s computer system. Both are designed with malicious intent. The difference lies in the method of their delivery and the scope of their impact on your system.

Spyware is typically delivered to your machine through the web browser, by visiting a website that interacts with your computer through a plugin, an ActiveX control, a browser vulnerability, or through a file download. Once it gets onto your system, it will modify the Windows registry with settings designed to keep it running on your computer at all times, including through persistent reboots. It will typically create or modify a DLL file or an executable that mimics the name of an existing file on your system. In doing so, it fools antivirus software programs into thinking that it is a normal program, safe for operations. Spyware must be removed through cleaning up of anomalies detected within the Windows registry database.

Spyware is responsible for those pop-up advertisements you will oftentimes receive, even when your web browser is not running. It attempts to connect to its originating servers on the Internet to send information about your browsing habits, in effect, quite literally “spying” on you. Spyware can also cause your system to slow down, freeze up, or to crash.

(The Windows registry is the master configuration database for all hardware and software components configured on your system.)
