Those techniques which are being used to dominate other computer users in improper (or) indirect way is phishing. For example daily we receive email messages. Some may personal and others can be unwanted.

Some messages(emails) are posted like "We remove spywares from your system at free of cost". And that too this email (which provide free service) is obtained from popular websites like Microsoft or Norton Anti Virus.

Thus we blindly click their hyperlinks given in that email.

By Clicking those links, you are not sent to main website (which is not known to user). Thus some underground website obtain necessary details about computer users.

These websites may slow down your computer(can make your PC Slave).These underground websites can create unwanted problem to your computer (can give black out screen in your system and can create hindrance without your knowledge).

If you are sending secret information (like passwords used in Net Banking), then your account information is being hacked and further used by these underground website hackers.
