What is hardware and spyware in a computer?

Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system, such as the motherboard, CPU, memory, hard drive, and peripherals like keyboards and monitors. These components work together to enable the computer to function.

Spyware, on the other hand, is a type of malicious software that is designed to secretly gather information about a user's computer activities and transmit it to a third party without the user's consent. Spyware can track keystrokes, capture passwords, monitor browsing habits, and collect personal information. It can slow down a computer's performance and compromise the user's privacy and security.
