Spyware specifically denotes a program which surreptitiously collects and reports a user's activity to a third party. More generally, spyware denotes any software installed on a user's computer which interacts with servers on the Internet in a manner unbeknownst to the user or without their consent. Spyware is most often used for commercial-related purposes, such as delivering pop-up ads. Besides being invasive of a person's privacy, spyware programs, like computer viruses, are often a nuisance and can impair the operation of the computer. Green Apple has put together a FAQ about Spyware. The write-up answers common questions about Spyware and provides links for further reading. For the spyware FAQ, please see

Besides the FAQ, Green Apple has guides written for two popular spyware-removal programs, Ad-aware and Spybot. These guides provide step-by-step descriptions on using the applications to combat spyware.
