BHO

Short for Browser Help Object, BHO is a help object added to your Internet browser. For example, the Google Toolbar is considered a Browser Help Object; this add-on enables users to perform Google searches through the toolbar and contains additional features that help improve a user's experience.

Although most Browser Help Objects are helpful, unfortunately some can also be malicious, hijacking your browser and making the user visit sites he or she may not want to visit, track your viewing habits, etc. These Browser Help Objects are often considered Spyware or Malware.
