A. If you see numerous popups and/or annoying advertisements on your web browser that just won’t go away, you might have inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (also known as ‘adware software’) or PUP (potentially unwanted program). Certain third-party download web-sites might add programs that you don’t want with the software that you install.
What is Adware & How it works? Adware software can make big problem to your computer. Adware also known as ‘ad-supported’ software is harmful program that displays a large number of adverts in form of pop-up windows, discounting deals, banners or even fake alerts on the web-browser. Adware can seriously affect your privacy, your computer’s performance and security. Adware can be installed onto your PC without your knowledge.
The worst is, adware may monetize its functionality by gathering user data from your browsing sessions. This personal info, subsequently, can be easily sold to third party companies. This puts your user info at a security risk.
Adware usually is bundled within another program in the same install package. The risk of this is especially high for the various free software downloaded from the World Wide Web. The makers of the programs are hoping that users will run the quick installation mode, that is simply to press the Next button, without paying attention to the information on the screen and do not carefully considering every step of the installation procedure. Thus, adware can infiltrate your personal computer without your knowledge. Therefore, it’s very important to read all the information that tells the application during install, including the ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘Software license’. Use only the Manual, Custom or Advanced install method. This mode will allow you to disable all optional and unwanted applications and components.
