	Adware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adware is any software package with the sole purpose to automatically play, display, or download advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it.
		Some adware is also shareware, and so the word may be used as term of distinction to differentiate between types of shareware software.
		There are concerns about adware because it often takes the form of spyware, in which information about the user's activity is tracked, reported, and often re-sold, often without the knowledge or consent of the user.
	en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Adware (606 words)

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Adware is any software application which causes advertising to be displayed while the program is running.
		The authors of adware applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which may be presented through pop-up windows or similar methods.
		Adware has been criticized for sometimes including code that tracks a user's personal information and passes it on to third parties, without the user's authorization or knowledge.

	Reality check: Does adware work? \| CNET News.com

	Blocking Adware and adware removal
		Adware or advertising-supported software is any software application in which advertisements are displayed while the program is running.
		Adware helps recover programming development costs, and helps to hold down the price of the application for the user (even making it free of charge)—and, of course, it can give programmers a profit, which helps to motivate them to write, maintain, and upgrade valuable software.
		Some adware is also shareware, in that users are given the option to pay for a "registered" or "licensed" copy, which typically does away with the advertisements.
