Spyware/Adware

Spyware covers a broad category of malicious software designed to intercept or take partial control of a computer's operation without the informed consent of that machine's owner or legitimate user. While the term taken literally suggests software that surreptitiously monitors the user, it has come to refer more broadly to software that subverts the computer's operation for the benefit of a third party.

Adware is a kind of spyware and is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertising material to a computer without user's consent after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used.

Adware is one of the largest sources of headaches for computer users today. This type of software doesn't spy on you or anything quite like that - instead, it covers your screen in popups and ads, even when you aren't connected to the Internet!

Fortunately, there's an answer to this problem.
