| Category Description: |
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: |
Provides a DLL for "ad supported software". In short this means that some shareware authors incorporate this system which pops up ads in exchange for some of the revenue this generates. If you uninstall this some "advertiser supported software" will probably cease to function. |
| Comment: |
Some analysis of the system shows that this has the capability of sending out (in XML format) various information about where it is installed, like PC information (RAM, Diskspace,...) and a list of installed applications.
It also containst some references to "VX2". |
