Spyware is an example of which type of malware?

Spyware and adware are examples of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that are prevalent. Although not inherently malicious, they can jeopardize user privacy and cause disruptions such as unwanted pop-ups or other undesirable actions. Trojans, on the other hand, masquerade as legitimate programs or are bundled with them. Remote Access Trojans (RATs) are a subset of Trojans that enable remote access. Ransomware, on the other hand, demands payment or other forms of compensation to avoid harm to a user's files or reputation.
