It is weird that adware shows so much ads, but when you understand it, the scheme appears pretty simple. All these ads are generated to earn money from clicks. Simply said, defrayment of advertising services is made according to the quantity of clicks made on the advertisement, or the amount of referrals from ad to the web-site. All advertising program's efforts are targeted at making you pass the link. Actually if you don't take interest in adware's propositions - the click might still be made, at least to hide an unwanted intrusive banner. The system doesn't care how the click was made, and swindlers will get their payment both for the normal click and for the undesired one.

Anti-viral companies and tech-support communities get tens of thousands of reports on Search.gg, so hackers are doing pretty good money on it.

 

There are three main forms of advertising utilities which spread through the Web nowadays: browser hijackers, adware and browser toolbars. You have to realize that advertising spam isn't an accident - they were intended to act this way from the beginning. Most of users mistakenly think that suchlike utilities are good, being tricked by massive rosters of their functions, but all these advantages either do not work, or just cannot exist. So, what's the true aim of adware?

 

    Adware differs in that it inserts ad units on all sites that the user views and in some cases, on the desktop. Suchlike utilities could be disguised as anything: system optimizers, video and audio players, tools for downloading and updating drivers, programs for finding movies and music and much more. Ads that are generated by adware are not secure and we strongly advise you not to click on them.

    Browser hijackers call another type of trouble. Hijackers periodically open a special website in victim's browser that redirects to one of the suspicious websites.

    Browser toolbars also perform advertising functions, but less actively than other two types of advertising utilities. Their main function is to pick information about victim's search queries and visited sites, which are then transmitted on to fraudsters for further research. This info can be used to trick the user or sold to third parties for a solid price.

 

Advertising programs are numerous and use especial methods to infect the system and to act inside of it. In spite of the difference in manners, they have one fact in common: they were originally designed for scam and deception. In addition, according to that all adware is trying to force the man to click on links to unknown and sometimes malicious web-pages, they allow other viruses to penetrate the system.
