What Is Adware?

Adware is an often annoying variant of spyware which some websites utilise in order to collect information from their users.

Typically, this information is then used to serve adverts to the user, based upon information that the adware retrieves from their web browser, gathered from cookies acquired from other sites that they have browsed.
