How 'Dare' You Call It Spyware!

Tags:
network security

Overview Anti-virus vendors frequently receive queries, objections and legal notices from software vendors whose applications are detected as spyware or adware. As a result, the task of 'Proving' whether a given sample is a spyware/adware or clean application demands careful judgment on the part of the researcher. Several such applications cannot be ignored as benign software just because of the legal risks associated with detection. Adware and spyware may be described as applications that may carry out one or more unsolicited actions, such as spying on a user's PC activities, gathering data about the user's browsing habits or pushing unwanted and/or offensive advertisements into the user's system.
