How spyware is installed in a computer without giving alert to users. As per my knowledge from programs like asp, aspdotnet or java. we cant access the client side system. But some site says with javascript a spyware can be installed. How and Why ?
Spyware is any technology that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. On the Internet (where it is sometimes called a spybot or tracking software), spyware is programming that is put in someone’s computer to secretly gather information about the user and relay it to advertisers or other interested parties. Spyware can get in a computer as a software virus or as the result of installing a new program….
And
Spyware will be installed in terms of Cookies Files and wen u open a site a pop up window will get open Like Ad’s..Some of this type of Ad’s Will be saved in your PC without ur prior notice..So, Just use Some anti spyware tools n also Block pop ups in browser..
ASP.NET n Java Doesnt Cause any Spyware…will neither install them…
When you download something, the Spyware may be included in it, and wen you run what you download from Internet, you run to install the Spyware at the same time. So you need a good Antivirus or Internet Security Software to protect you.
Good Luck
Yes when ever you download free stuff there is always a risk to get infected. You may ask why because it is hidden deep inside the license agreement that most people do not really take the time to read before they install free stuff.
Hi
There are drive-by downloads which attempt to exploit a browser (or other internet connecting program):http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/safe_…
The funniest thing that the user himself may be the installer!
You may receive it as cookies or email attachment and run it
Make sure having antivirus and firewall on
