There are some common misconceptions about the differences between viruses, spyware and adware. To clarify: a virus is a program that gets loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and can potentially cause your computer to stop functioning and even result in data loss. A virus is created to run multiple copies of itself and spread. Spyware and adware are different to viruses because they do not create copies of themselves and spread, nor do they typically result in data loss. A spyware is a program that typically causes your computer to run very slowly and create difficulty connecting to the internet. Also these programs have the ability to invade your privacy and attempt to share your personal information by transmitting it across the internet. An adware is usually loaded onto your computer when you download or install a free program. These free programs rely on the built-in advertising or adware to generate sales. Adware will not usually affect the performance of your computer, nor will it result in any data loss...but it can be extremely annoying to be overwhelmed with advertising and pop-ups.
