Which program takes snapshots or screenshots of the computer on which it is installed?

• A. Audio Spyware
• B. Screen-Capturing Spyware
• C. USB Spyware
• D. GPS Spyware

Answer: (B)

Capturing the display content is the hallmark of screen-capturing spyware. When this malware is on a machine, it can grab images of what appears on the screen—at regular intervals or on demand—and send those screenshots back to the attacker. That directly matches the idea of taking snapshots or screenshots of the computer. Other types pursue different data: audio spyware records microphone input, USB spyware deals with USB device activity, and GPS spyware tracks geographic location. So only screen-capturing spyware performs the visual snapshots described.
