A spyware program will record every keystroke and e-mail as well as every web page you visit and every chat session. Some spyware programs will try to take control of your homepage, search page and other browser settings. Some may silently download themselves onto your computer. Others may pose as legitimate programs and persuade you to download them.

Private and confidential information extracted from a user's computer may be put on the Internet before he can realize that he is a victim of these malicious programs.

A Microsoft program called ActiveX is used to download software from websites for supporting legitimate services like file viewers or games.
