Why each option
Web server stress testing simulates high load conditions, and both automated internet bots and custom scripts are legitimate tools used to generate that artificial traffic volume.
Internet bots can be configured to send large volumes of concurrent HTTP requests to a web server, simulating real user load and exposing performance bottlenecks under stress.
Scripts automate repeated HTTP requests against a web server endpoint, enabling testers to programmatically control request rate, volume, and patterns to measure server behavior under load.
Anti-virus software is a security protection tool designed to detect and remove malware, and has no capability or function related to generating load or stress testing a web server.
Spyware is malicious software that covertly collects user data; it is not a stress testing tool and its use for testing would be unethical and illegal.
