Program that delivers advertisements on your PC.
Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated to adware.
Adware is any software application in which advertising is displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen and sometimes through text links or in integrated search results. Adware may or may not track personal information. It may also gather information anonymously or in aggregate only. Users should check the EULA and Privacy policy to ensure if the adware on their machines conforms to their standards. |
| Official Description: |
Uses "viral" marketing techniques to send an email message to all contacts found in the Windows Address Book and Eudora Address Book. The user does not have sufficient opportunity to agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) displayed on the web page associated with this installer.
A link to the web page containing an installer for this trojan may arrive in an email message.
The ads are for an application called "ZeroPopups", which changes your homepage and search page in Internet Explorer.
