Spyware and Bots

What I know before researching:
- consists of programs and softwares that monitor your activity and/or information without damaging your devices

Questions for the topic
- what can spyware do specifically?
- in what forms is spyware? codes? programs?

wikipedia



- most spyware is equipped with firewalls and protection to make them hard to remove
- spyware is hard to install on other computers and for information gathering, it is mostly placed from the inside of the computer, not by an external route
- spyware is not only for computers. There are now apps to install in mobile devices where you set up a destination for the monitoring to go
- spyware is used by companies to monitor company provided devices and ensure proper use. Also by parents concerned for their children´s technology use and even by law enforcement to get information on suspects
- It is now open to that public to download on personal devices, using them for personal monitoring and securing personal information
- Many programs against spyware like antivirus but for spyware exist.

These may relate to my life beacuse someone may try to use spyware on me and now I know how to prevent that, as well as how to use it on someone. hahaha

Is there really an ultimate security provider against spyware?
