Software spy
Definition
Any form of intrusive software installed at the same time as a legitimate program, employing connection Internet without the agreement and without the knowledge of the user to collect information.
Description
This software spy transmits to the owner of the program or to advertising controls of information related to the hardware configuration of the user concerned, his practices of navigation, its personal data... It is possible to detect these "informers" thanks to powerful Firewall, an anti-spyware software, or by a manual checking after consultation of sites counting the software spies. It is important to know that to withdraw a software spy without preliminary precautions can make your program unusable, just as the desinstallation of the "carrying" program inevitably does not involve the withdrawal of the software spy.
