pop-ups they used to deliver to the users may be related to
them but in reality, those ads or pop-ups are not requested by
the users. When users download any freeware, games or other
applications from the internet, users are asked to accept the
license agreement then only they can install the software on
their system. But comes the main role of adware, they also get
installed on users system along with the software users install.
