Spyware 'Piggybacks' on very innocent and legitimate looking file downloads. It can be likened to a passport that allows a person to enter a country, only in this case it is to enter an individuals computer, without the user fully understanding the implications of such file downloads.

Spyware introduced into a computer system loves the environment. It has gained entrance into the system and feeds on the information the system contains.
