What are internet pests?

[Jhill]

My sister just had her computer repaired and the gut told her Internet Explorer was messed up and she had internet pests on her computer. Does anyone know WTF internet pests are? The guy said they weren't really viruses. It wasn't really expensive and her computer is fixed now.

Something he made up in order to convince her that he deserved her money.

Could be he meant spyware programs like BonziBuddy, and that type.
