A malicious and infectious program or rather 1000's of different programs that infect your computer with adware or malware is called adware spyware. These adware spyware programs are designed specifically to attack your PC.

Some of these adware spyware programs are only minor annoyances and can be cleaned from your system easily with nearly all adware remover programs because they are harmless because they are only used to track browser habits as well as geological location. However some more infectious adware spyware programs can be potentially harmful to your pc system, your life and your bank account.

A simple solution to this is to arm yourself with an adware removal program that is capable of removing such adware spyware intrusions such as data mining, aggressive advertising tactics, Trojan's, dialers , malware ( another form of adware), tracking components, and browser hijackers.

According to some surveys that have been recently conducted, it shows that 85% of all Internet users have some form of adware on their computers. Each of these computers, on average, have been infected with an average of 24 adware programs.

In other words, this would mean that adware would be defined as an unreasonable advertising tactic. Adware is usually installed from software that has no charge as long as you accept the adware agreement, so how do you catch it?

As a matter of fact, alongside such software programs like shareware and freeware, adware can even be installed. A perfect example of this is the software you install with kazaa.

Remember that when you install any programs such as these, nothing is for free and the supplier of the software has adware spyware usually hidden in the install file. Tracking your movements so that they can aggressively market products to you through pop-ups or browser hijacking is the purpose for this.

As we take a look at spyware, you will realize where adware gets its bad name from. Spyware is very similar in nature to a Trojan in this way any users installing software have no idea they have also given access to spyware and it is also extremely intrusive.

One of the most common ways to become infected with spyware is through using peer to peer programs which are commonly file sharing or swapping programs you install on your own pc.

Not only can spyware install more malicious spyware programs and even change your home page, but this independent executable program can also monitor every keystroke on your computer and have a look at the files on your hard drives. While you are trying to work out what is happening, all of this information is being sent back to whoever is responsible for creating the adware spyware.

Worst case scenario is that these malicious adware spyware programs can transmit your back details and passwords back to whoever wants them.
