Sense Ads is your generic, run-of-the-mill adware-annoying, intrusive and ultimately useless. Due to its simple nature, Sense Ads is compatible with most modern browsers-Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Like many of its cohorts in the advertising branch, the lion's share of Sense Ads's distribution percentage is software bundles. The software bundles rarely mention that additional software is included in the package, and unless you delve deep into the setup menus, the additional software will be installed on your computer. If Sense Ads manages to slither through your defenses, it will attach itself to your browser(s) and will start spewing advertisements in the form of banners, in-text ads and pop-ups. While Sense Ads is a relatively harmless application, the ads it promotes may pose a risk to your computer. Suffice to say, clicking on any advertisements promoted by Sense Ads is an ill-advised idea, especially if you don't have a reliable and up-to-date anti-malware solution. Sense Ads is categorized as adware due to its distribution method, nonexistent utility and potentially dangerous ad content. It is strongly advised to avoid Sense Ads, and removing it if you have it installed.
