What is a adware : Program that creates advertisments
on your Pc.
Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated
to adware.
Official definition:
"Adware is any software application in which advertising
banners are displayed while the program is running. The authors
of these applications include additional code that delivers
the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through
a bar that appears on a computer screen. The justification for
adware is that it helps recover programming development cost
and helps to hold down the cost for the user.
Adware has been criticized for occasionally including code that
tracks a user's personal information and passes it on to third
parties, without the user's authorization or knowledge."
