Cookie- A type of file some Web sites place on users' computers to enable personalization of Web content. Most cookies are harmless, but some that record Web surfing habits and personal information are considered spyware.
Eula- Shorthand for end-user license agreement, the legally binding contracts that accompany most software programs and govern the terms of their use. Most users with computers infected by adware and spyware have agreed to install the programs by clicking "Accept" at the bottom of the eulas that accompany file-sharing software and other free programs.
