Adware
Adware is a type of software that is designed to display advertisements on your computer or device. It is often installed without your consent, bundled with other software that you have installed or downloaded online.
Adware can display various types of ads, such as pop-up ads, banners, and in-text ads. These ads can be very annoying and disruptive to your online experience.
In addition to being a nuisance, adware can also be malicious. Some adware can gather your personal information, track your online activity, and even download additional software without your knowledge or consent. This can compromise your privacy and security online.
To protect yourself from adware, it is important to be careful when downloading and installing software. Always read the terms and conditions before installing any software and be sure to pay attention to any checkboxes that may indicate that additional software will be installed. Additionally, make sure to keep your computer or device up-to-date with the latest security updates and anti-virus software.
