Similar to "bug" you can establish "spider" as a new computer term for things that infest a running system. Then you do conference talks, write books about it and keep all the earnings you get from doing that. The spider can't sue you for a share of that if it doesn't also pay you rent.

Yeah I'm with the other commenter on this one. Spiders are deployed against bugs. I will leave her alone to dwell.

But seriously though... WHERE IS SHE?! xD

A spider is something you release into your system to catch bugs.
For a small fee of 1000$/h I will tell your company how.
