Adware are programs that facilitate delivery for advertising content
to the user and in some cases gather information from the user's computer,
including information related to Internet browser usage or other computer habits
As this information is entered by the user, it is captured by the BHO (Browser Helper Object) and
sent back to the attacker.
Typically, keyloggers of this type will send the stolen information back to the attacker via email
or HTTP POST, which can appear suspicious.Adware is the class of programs that place advertisements on your screen.
These may be in the form of pop-ups, pop-unders, advertisements embedded in programs,
advertisements placed on top of ads in web sites, or any other way the authors can
think of showing you an ad.

The pop-ups generally will not be stopped by pop-up stoppers, and often are
not dependent on your having Internet Explorer open.
They may show up when you are playing a game, writing a document, listening to music,
or anything else. Should you be surfing, the advertisements will often be related to
the web page you are viewing.
