Best Answer

Spyware is a malicious software that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their knowledge. Spyware can get in a computer as a software virus or as the result of installing a new program.

Freeware, on the other hand, is derived from "free" + "software" which means this software is available for use at no cost. They are created by volunteers and distributed for free.
