Category:Adware

Adware, short for advertising supported software, is software that displays unwanted advertisements. They usually tend to serve pop-up ads or bombard the user with advertisements. Not only can adware be really bothersome upon using these programs, but it also causes long-term issues to your device. The reason developers put ads in their programs is to collect user information to generate revenue. No matter how bad they are, they will slow down a user's machine or make it more prone to crashing. This category lists both malware and non-malware.
