Adware, Spyware - What's The Difference, Really?
Spyware - everyone who uses a personal computer has heard of it.
It's been aptly named by its opponents to induce the sort of aversion it merits. Spyware does just what it says it does - it spies. It's software that spies. More specifically - it monitors all activity on a user's computer and reports its findings to its creator.

Fake Microsoft Windows Activation Trojan
Rogue antivirus programs and extortion Trojans depend on the appearance of legitimacy in order to meet their end goal, which is to persuade computer users to either purchase ineffectual software, or in the case of extortion Trojans, provide personal and/or financial information. In both cases, it is essential that users recognize these rogues in order to protect their systems and their wallets. The fake Microsoft Windows Activation Trojan is one such rogue to avoid.
