Advertising software includes a fairly long list of miscellaneous kinds, but the very popular of them are adware, browser toolbars and redirects. These programs were originally designed not to benefit customers, so their aim is to earn money from advertising fraud. Most of customers believe that suchlike tools are useful, being deceived by large rosters of their advantages, but all these advantages either aren't working, or just cannot exist. To make it clear for you, we will describe the basic features of each adware type.

• Contamination with a hijacker brings another type of issue. Hijackers periodically open a special web-page in the browser that redirects to one of the sites with advertising and malicious links.
• Adware differs in that it shows advertising information on all sites that the victim views and in some cases, on the desktop. These tools can be disguised as anything: tools for finding news and funny stories, driver updaters, media players, system cleaners and much more. Offers that are generated by adware aren't secure and we strongly suggest you not to click on them.
• Browser toolbars also perform advertising functions, but less actively than the previous two sorts of advertising utilities. Their main function is to collect information about user's search queries and visited web-pages that are then sent on to web-criminals for further resale. Suchlike information may be used against the user or passed to third parties for a decent price.

Advertising tools are numerous and use especial methods to penetrate the machine and to act inside of it. These tools have one thing in common - they all provide inconvenience to the customer and prevent him from using the Internet. In addition, since all advertising utilities try to make you to visit the unknown and often malicious web-pages, they allow other viruses to enter the machine.

 

Scammers don't make viruses only to irritate users, and each virus has precise tasks. The primary thing you need to do when you want to download some software - to figure out, is it really helpful? Don't you wonder why all adware descriptions are so indistinct? The "faster", "better" or "safer" search online is a pure sample of suchlike function, as these options are really indistinct and nearly impossible to observe. Does this mean that advertising software are completely useless, and is just consuming space in the computer's memory? Not at all! Adware performs a very important task, - to let Internet scammers to obtain thousands of dollars per day on novice users.
