Dealing with Adware

Adware is generally regarded as more of a nuisance than a danger because it doesn't damage the user's system, it simply disrupts a user when they are using their browser.

Adware can be dealt with in a similar way to spyware and a very popular program that can be used to deal with it is Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition. This program can be downloaded for free personal use and it includes a comprehensive adware and spyware database that is updated regularly.
