Adware, Spyware and Monitoring Software - What's What?

Everybody seems to have heard about spyware now. Media publish loads of surveys, "how to"s, and horror stories about the victims. Readers are supposed to know exactly what terms like "spyware", "adware", "malware" mean. Alas, their meanings may vary from article to article, from author to author-- some of them still use these terms interchangeably. It is not correct. Being an employee of an anti-spyware developing company, I guess I know this matter well enough to point that out.
