Adware

Adware

Adware is described as software that plays, downloads, or displays advertising automatically on a computer–following installation or when an application is being used. It is often bundled with another program and shows up in a pop-up screen or a bar that appears on the PC screen when the program is in use. Application programmers often view adware as a way to recover programming costs. In fact, the extra income attainable through the use of adware often motivates programmers to offer applications at lower prices or, sometimes, even for free.

Though many programmers find adware beneficial, most computer users do not share their enthusiasm. For most computer users, adware is annoying, intrusive, and damaging. This is particularly true of a type of adware referred to as spyware. Spyware tracks the personal information of the computer user through specially written code and communicates it to third-party companies–without the permission or knowledge of the user.

There are many ways through which adware can infect your computer. Adware can gain access to your computer through purchased and downloaded software, games, music, e-mails, images, and screensavers. Once on your computer, adware and spyware can cause your PC to operate in a sluggish manner and can lead to crashes, in addition to allowing others to intrude on your privacy.
