What Is Scumware?

Scumware, which can also be known as adware, is typically pieces of malicious code that have entered your system.

These then change the manner in which websites you visit are displayed.

For instance, the true content of a website may well be replaced with adverts supplied by the scumware advertisers.

Typically, these adverts are for less than salubrious sites!
