Explanation

Phishing sends legitimate-looking emails to trick targeted users into giving away information.

Pharming works through malicious code planted on a user's computer or a web server to redirect victims.

Spyware secretly gathers data by monitoring key presses on the user's keyboard.

A virus is code that replicates itself to delete or corrupt files on the computer.

Pharming redirects traffic silently while phishing relies on a tempting message.

Spyware steals information quietly, whereas a virus actively damages stored data.
