Adware: Read the Small Print

There are certain times when adware is actually a legitimate part of another computer program, usually freeware. Some freeware publishers bundle adware with their software because they receive money to do so. In this case, the publisher will include a warning about the adware during program installation using the End-User Licence Agreement (EULA). The user then knows about the adware and can choose to accept the licence agreement or not.
