- spyware is when they take data from you that you didn’t want to give
- adware is when they give data to you that you didn’t want to have
- bloatware is when the software’s just in the way, making the whole system slow, sluggish and inefficient
summarily these can be called crapware
Eh, I’d said ransomware is a different category altogether, it’s denying you access to your data.
Remember kids, if you did not back it up, it must not have been important.
