Exactly. What it does and how bad it is depends on the malware, some just make things run slowly, others can pretty much just ruin the device they're on.
Usually programs like that spy on people by recording information. Stuff like what websites you visit, what email accounts you access, sometimes even logging the passwords you use. There's always rumors of stuff that can hack the camera to take recordings too but I don't know if that's just urban legend. You'd need to talk to someone who actually knows tech stuff for that.
