Barnacle
Posted by: Margaret
Rouse
In a computer, a barnacle is unwanted programming, such
as adware or spyware, that is downloaded and installed
along with a user-requested program. The term derives from the name of a
crustacean that attaches itself to whales and boats, among other things. Like
its marine counterpart, the computer barnacle can be difficult to
eradicate.
Barnacles usually fall under the category of potentially
unwanted programs (PUPs), a euphemistic term coined by McAfee
to refer to programs that a user installs unintentionally, perhaps having
unknowingly consented to their download.
Computer barnacles, like other spyware, can seriously
affect computer performance. Unlike most spyware, however, they may also cause
damage. Some barnacles interfere with the Winsock code that handles input/output
requests for Internet applications in Windows operating systems. Winsock runs
between a program (such as a browser) and the program that uses TCP/IP. Removal of this type of barnacle
may corrupt Internet protocols and degrade network performance,
in which case the user must reinstall the TCP/IP stack.
The term barnacle is closely related to drive-by download, which is programming
that is downloaded without user consent and often without the user's knowledge
that any download has occurred.
