What is the difference between spyware and adware?

What will be an ideal response?


The difference between spyware and adware is a fine line. Both programs can be installed without the user being aware of their presence. Adware, however, sometimes displays a banner that notifies the user of its presence. Adware's main purpose is to determine a user's purchasing habits so that Web browsers can display advertisements tailored to that user. The biggest problem with adware is that it slows down the computer it's running on.
