There are various forms or types of spyware programs, ranging from very benign programs which may try to sell you something - I am sure you’ve see those annoying popups - to malware which can either damage your computer physically to the point that it stops working - like a virus - or the spyware may take note of your keystrokes or private information which it then emails to the owner of the spyware.
