Such objects run in the same memory context as the browser and can perform any action on the available windows and modules. For ex., a browser helper object can install hooks to monitor messages and actions, etc .Some BHOs are helpful, like the Adobe Acrobat or Google Toolbar Browser Helper Objects, but there could be malicious ones among them that will harm your computer, especially those planted by viruses or spyware.
