Answer:

Phishing involves tricking a person into entering sensitive personal or financial information into a form on a website or in an e-mail, typically by convincing the person that she is dealing with a site she normally interacts with, such as her bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adware - When software is installed without consent, and made to show disruptive pop-ups and ads.

Spyware - Records keystrokes, camera and microphone without consent. Can also track activity.

Spam - When the same message is posted several times.

It is clearly not any of these, so it must be Phishing.
