On this page I will list some of the truly evil Bots. Please let me know if there are other Bots I am forgetting here.
SpyWare (?)
SpyWare is used to track variety of activities user performs in the browser. So what are they tracking? Lots of thing including:
Malware
Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system, without the owner's consent.
Computer Worm
A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program, similar to a computer virus. A virus attaches itself to, and becomes part of, another executable program; however, a worm is self-contained and does not need to be part of another program to propagate itself.
Computer Virus
In computer security, a computer virus is a self-replicating computer program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. A computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells. Extending the analogy, the insertion of a virus into the program is termed as an "infection", and the infected file, or executable code that is not part of a file, is called a "host".
AdWare
Adware or advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used.
