When you install a P2P application or download a file from a P2P network, it is not uncommon for spyware to be bundled in with the files and the software.

Many computer users discover the hard way that freeware and shareware aren't really free at all. Many of these "free" applications come bundled with spyware, which may very well be how the application ended up on your PC.

Here are just some of the potential spyware symptoms your computer may exhibit:

Almost everyone experiences one or two pop-ups every now and then, but if you're getting more than your fair share of pop-up ads, then spyware may be the culprit. Many unwanted software applications, such as spyware, will cause frequent occurrences of pop-up advertisements on your desktop. If you notice an increase in the number of pop-up ads you receive, you may be infected with spyware.

Many spyware applications have been known to change a user's Internet settings without their knowledge or consent. To make matters worse, if you try to change your settings back to the way they were before, spyware can just change them back again. If you notice that your search page or homepage settings have changed without explanation, spyware may be the reason.

If you notice additions to your Internet browser that you do not remember downloading or installing, spyware may be the reason. Many spyware applications add search toolbars and other BHOs (browser helper objects) to your Internet browser without your knowledge or consent.

It is very common for computers infected with spyware to experience decreases in speed and performance. This is because spyware often uses a computer's system resources to execute malicious operations. This creates a drain on your system and will result in slower Internet speeds and overall decreases in PC performance.

What is a Trojan-Dropper?

This is a family of Trojans designed to install malicious software on a user's computer without being detected. The name comes from the program's ability to drop one or many payloads (usually other Trojans) into various files while the user is unaware. Sometimes the Trojan Dropper will do this without any notification and sometimes it will display a false error message about and archived file or operating system. This serves the purpose to distracting the users and making them think that, if the computer is acting strangely, it's a glitch in the software or OS.

The dropper itself has all of the code necessary to install and execute the smaller programs that it drops.
These Trojans are also notorious for including at least one hoax payload. This is a benign and often functioning media application, such as a joke generator, music file, video file, graphic or even a game. These too distract the users and make them think that the file they downloaded is legitimate when really it's a mask for malware that can be redirecting browsers, launching popups or gathering vital data. Furthermore, because of the hoax payload, the hackers can successfully fool some spyware detectors, making them overlook hidden files thinking they're harmless.
