Salad

Salad is a light meal — or, as part of a bigger meal, much more of an taster — consisting of varied vegetables (usually including at least one leaf vegetable) or fruit, frequently with a dressing or sauce, occasionally nuts and sometimes with the addition of meat, fish or cheese. It is usually seen as a healthy dish, even though not always low in calories, salt, sugar, or fat because of the dressing that is often added. The word "salad" comes from the French salade of the identical meaning, which in twist is from the Latin salata, "salty", from sal, "salt".

Effects and behaviors of spyware

A spyware program is rarely alone on a computer: an precious machine can rapidly be impure by many other components. Users frequently notice not needed behavior and degradation of system performance. A spyware infestation can generate significant unwanted CPU activity, disk usage, and network traffic, all of which slow the computer down. Stability issues, such as request or system-wide crashes, are also common. Spyware which interferes with networking software generally causes difficulty connecting to the Internet.

In some infections, the spyware is not even manifest. Users assume in those situations that the issues narrate to hardware, to Windows installation problems, or a virus. Some owners of defectively infected systems resort to contacting technical support experts, or even buying a new computer because the existing system "has become too slow". Badly infected systems may perhaps require a clean reinstallation of all their software in order to return to full functionality.

Routes of infection in spyware

Spyware does not directly increase in the manner of a computer virus or worm: generally, an infected system does not attempt to transmit the infection to other computers. Instead, spyware gets on a system through deception of the user or through development of software vulnerabilities.

Most spyware is installed not including users' knowledge. Since they tend not to install software if they know that it will interrupt their working environment and compromise their privacy, spyware deceives users, either by piggybacking on a piece of popular software such as Kazaa, or tricking them into installing it (the Trojan horse method). Some "rogue" anti-spyware programs deception as security software, while being spyware themselves.
