One of the ways for people to make revenue on the Internet, and in most cases, to pay for the operating costs is with the assistance of Web advertisements or ads for short. That is why a huge part of the threats on the Internet are constituted of the so-called adware. Online advertising most commonly takes the form of various banners displayed on Web pages, pop-up messages, advertisement e-mails, etc. While most online advertisement is done without the help of third-party programs, there are often cases where adware products are involved.
