The Reason for Existence of Adware

Adware is something that you would personally call, “a real pain in the neck!” If you have been using the internet for a while now, you probably have come across dozens or hundreds of Adware over time. If you haven’t, you must be very lucky. But if you are reading this article, I’m sure that your PC is suffering from Adware or Spyware. Spyware is simply the worst case scenario of Adware where your personal information is also leaked out. You don't want that to happen!

Adware simply installs itself into your PC and starts throwing up unwanted ads, popups and banners. If your computer is running weird, then it’s not the Adware. Much much worse. They are called spyware and malicious scripts. Your PC will go nuts with these things.

It usually gets into your machine when you install a free program like a shareware. Shareware programs are usually where you find these kinds of Adware. Sharewares aren't give away for free without a reason... The simpe idea is that you get ads from them without them having to pay anything. It’s a clever marketing trick, but it’s not clever anymore. It’s just a pain. Of course if you had a real time security like AdwareAlert program, it usually detects these stuff and removes them.

Even some of the more popular softwares tend to install adware like Zango, AOL messenger, Zango, Gator, Weatherbug etc... This shows that even though Adware maybe legit, it’s not nice!

Install free software and shareware programs, and you are guaranteed to get adware. You have to know that. Nothing in this world comes free.

No matter how careful you may be to protect your machine, some of the sneaky little bugs just get through! You get security programs to remove adware, spyware and other malicious codes.
