Name :	Rageshwari Sinha
Subject:	Difference between Spyware and Adware
Message :	Spyware and adware are different but both are a major risk for your confidential information. Spyware is a program installed on a computer that can capture personal information — such as passwords, log-in details, account numbers, etc — in addition to content on the computer and Internet usage, and relay it back to a third party. Adware is a program installed on a user's computer to deliver advertising content and to capture Internet usage to build up a user profile that, in turn, is relayed to a third party to be used for marketing purposes.
