A rather popular or should we say, notorious computer application these days is spyware. Briefly, it is an application that is capable of hopping into your computer system and infect it, very much similar to computer viruses, causing undue changes in your computer files. However, what makes spyware different from the standard computer virus is that it is capable of collecting data from your computer that may include some very personal, and therefore, confidential, accounts about you.

And all of these can happen without you ever having knowledge of it.
