Spywares are computer programs that sneak into your PC, attach themselves to your operating system while hiding in the background and affect your interaction with your PC. They also make unwanted changes to your user experience without your knowledge.
A virus is bad enough, as they often threaten to erase our entire hard drives once the author of virus gains access to all of your data. Spyware and adware can do nearly the same thing without erasing your drive. Worst yet, spyware and adware can take undue advantage of your computer and your saved data without you ever knowing it.
Spyware and adware work by monitoring your internet usage, and reporting back to the software on the links you click and the searches you enter. Adware will then use that information to send you those annoying pop-ups you have to continually click to close. Spyware, on the other hand, does something much more devious.
The presence of cookies on the computers provides a good breeding ground for spywares. Cookies are little packets of data your computer uses to help you access websites quicker on future visits. When you go back to the page in question, the site will access the cookie you created so it can either fill in the blanks or tell the page what to load on startup. This is where the spyware problems originate.
Spyware, particularly the kind found in cookies, is designed not just to see what you are doing on the Internet, but it is also capable of reading the information you transmit and sending it to the spyware's host. If you save your username or password online, there's a very good chance that data can be compromised. It's actually more a matter of when as opposed to if.
