Adware
Prepared by: Avani M. Patel
• Adware is a type of malware that bombards you with
endless ads and pop-up windows that could
potentially be dangerous for your device. The best
way to remove adware is to use an adware removal
tool.
• Adware is a software that shows you unwanted ads. It
could be also a type of free software supported by
advertisements that show up in pop-up windows or on
a toolbar on your computer or browser. Most adware
is annoying, but safe. But some is used to gather your
personal information, track the websites you visit or
even record your keystrokes.
Where adware comes from
• Just like spyware, adware is most often built into into free
software, but can also be installed on your browser or
operating system through a security hole.
How to recognize adware
• Your device is probably infected with adware if you start
seeing ads popping up in applications where you hadn't seen
them before. Pop-ups can also show up on your computer's
desktop even when you're not browsing the Internet. Also,
your browser's homepage may have been changed. You can
use an adware scanner (which is included in all adware
removal tools) to check if your device is infected.
How to remove adware
• Before removing adware from your device, be sure to
back up any important files that you want to keep
safe. Then use an antivirus with adware removal
software to scan for and remove any adware that
might be hiding on your device. Avast Free Antivirus
and anti-malware includes an adware removal tool.
How to prevent adware
• Use an antivirus with an adware cleaner.
• Ensure that your browser, operating system, and software
have the latest updates and security patches.
• Turn on a firewall when using the Internet.
Use an adware removal tool to
protect yourself
• There is no better way to recognize and remove adware than
to use an antivirus with adware removal software.
