Over the past few years, a new computer security problem has arisen, Spyware. Anti-Virus programs cannot deal with spyware, due to their silent infection techniques and their differences from regular viruses. Most people are unaware of spyware and this work is an effort to introduce the spyware problem to academic community, by providing a classification of spyware, representing the risks they present and revealing their infection techniques. Furthermore, we will explore several techniques against spyware and form a defense in depth for the problem.
