Abstract

Malware assaults amongst diverse cyber-attack on computers are deemed harmful, as they are passive and sleathy. A malware assault is a cyber-attack that initiates the action of the perpetrator on the system of the victim. Adware, spyware, keyloggers and any other malware may be used to carry out malware attacks. Spyware captures information from companies or individuals and distributes it to harmful users. The Spyware keylogger records, logs and transmits the user's keystrokes to the virus attacker. These threats must be recognised and identified to ensure adequate data protection. Early detection helps to slow the spread of malware. This paper provides a methodology for logging and testing spyware attacks.
