Why You Should Take Action To Eliminate Adware

August 15, 2011/0 Comments/in Adware, Internet Safety /by admin

Adware is one of the curses of the internet age.

It tends to creep up on people and bury itself within their computers, constantly bombarding them with advertisements for things that they generally don’t want.

Often the ads are just completely inappropriate as well. The only good news about adware in recent years is that technology is starting to catch up with it, making it easier to keep it at bay.

Still, adware is all over the place and is a constant threat. It’s got to the point that whenever some people see ads on their computer they get nervous.

Adware Can Infect Your Computer Without Your Consent

It can get to your computer through sneaky means. People can go online and download things that they feel are safe only to find out that they’ve accidentally installed something that’s designed to do nothing more than harass them with ads whenever they turn on their computer.

This is not only wrong and annoying, but it makes it so that no one can really feel at ease about browsing the net anymore because everything has to be questioned.

Some Adware Applications Will Also Spy On Your Internet Activities

Adware works best when the ads can be targeted at individual users. In order to target the ads best the software tracks what a computer user does when on the internet.

By knowing the web browsing habits and other such things, the most appropriate ads for the user can be delivered.

In theory that’s great except for two points: the first is that the user may not want the ads in the first place and the second is that the user is almost always unaware that such spying is taking place.

Adware Can Also Display Offensive Material

They say that the internet was built on pornography, and a lot of people will tell you that that’s true. By now there are so many websites offering pornography and sex related products and services that no one could ever make an accurate count. That means it’s an incredibly lucrative yet competitive industry.

The result is that makers of adware often try to get a piece of that pie by delivering those ads to your computer. Suddenly computer users find themselves being bombarded by unwanted ads that they can’t get rid of that are full of offensive imagery.

Malicious Adware Can Also Damage Your Computer Files

In the worst cases, adware infiltrates computers in the worst of ways. It buries itself deep within the system making it impossible for less tech savvy people to get rid of. Even computer experts often have trouble erasing it from a computer system, and the result is having to completely wipe a computer clean and set it up all over again.

This means to those that don’t know, that the tech is going to completely format your hard drive and re-install all of the software applications if of course you have the installation disks.

Adware Is Nothing  More Than An Additional Cost For Computer Users

To combat all of these annoyances people need to have antispyware software running on their computer at all times. Not only does this slow the computer down, but the better antispyware software costs money.

While this is great for the antivirus industry, it’s just unfair for everyday computer users who simply want to run an affordable system.
