Which spyware copies itself to a USB device and operates without user notification?

• A. USB Spyware
• B. Video Spyware
• C. Telephone/Cellphone Spyware
• D. Screen-Capturing Spyware

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of how some spyware spreads and hides. USB spyware is designed to copy itself onto removable USB drives and run without the user noticing when the drive is connected to another computer. Its defining trait is propagation through USB devices, not what it does once installed. The other options describe spyware that monitors or captures certain activities (video, phone activity, or screen content) but do not imply how the malware spreads. So the choice that best fits the description of copying itself to a USB device and operating covertly is USB spyware. In practical terms, defenses include disabling automatic execution of USB drives, using updated anti-malware, and enforcing device-control policies to prevent covert propagation.
