Such programs are meant to monitor the activity of the user. These software don’t necessarily ask the user his consent for installation. Since this software is sold commercially, many anti-virus programs aren’t even equipped to detect them. The most common of such tools is the key logger which logs keyboard activity and stores it in the form of a log file which can be sent back to the owner of the software. Often even screenshots or videos do the same purpose. These software take complete control over the experience a user experiences over the internet!
