Adware Definition The basic definition of adware is "software applications that produce advertising banners".Spyware Definition The basic definition of spyware is "software that transmits information back to a third party without notifying the user". Overview Adware and Spyware closely linked as many programs utilise both systems. It must also be remembered that not all Adware is Spyware and most Spyware is NOT easily detected by displaying ads. The danger to organisations from adware and spyware are significant. The presence of either can cripple networks or result in highly confidential data being transmitted to an undisclosed third party. Adware and spyware is often mistaken for being viruses due to their often destructive nature and ease of network implementation. As with the 'Trojan Horse' they use utilities such as websites and desirable software utilities, however like viruses can be easily dealt with. It needs to be remembered that legitimate software such as computer monitoring, filtering, Internet monitoring, password recovery, security or surveillance software are equally threatening because they can could be used without notifying users.
