If you’d like to find out more about how programs of this type function, please read about the general behavior of programs in the same class or sub-class (see right).
Because many programs of this type are slight modifications of older versions, the descriptions for these older versions may be of interest. Links to any available descriptions are displayed under the general description on the right of the screen.

Adware covers programs designed to display advertisements (usually in the form of banners), redirect search requests to advertising websites, and collect marketing-type data about the user (e.g. which types of websites s/he visits) in order to display customized advertising on the computer.
Other than displaying advertisements and collecting data, these types of program generally do not make their presence in the system known: there will be no signs of the program in the system tray, and no indication in the program menu that files have been installed. Often, Adware programs do not have any uninstall procedures and use technologies which border on virus technology to help the program stealthily penetrate the computer and run unnoticed.
