Spyware is a software, a command line or a small program which can secretly stole your personal information and send it to it’s manufacturer. If you can do transactions through your device and if your device is infected with spyware then your credit card number, account number etc will be stole.

Now the question is how spywares are spread:

Spywares are spread from pirated softwares and cracked softwares etc. If a user can download pirated softwares from untrusted websites like torrent etc then the spyware are also download with it. There are thousand of setup files of any software and the spyware are also in it and the user didn’t see it. When a user is connected to the internet then the spyware is activated and send all of your secret information to it’s manufacturer. Many fake softwares companies are also attached spywares with their softwares. But the amazing thing is that most famous companies are also attached spywares with their softwares which are popular/famous in the public.

Install any famous antivirus but the best thing is that install any paid antivirus because the paid antivirus companies send updates regularly.
