What Is Adware?
Adware, also called advertising-supported software by its developers, is software that generates revenue for its developer by automatically generating online advertisements in the user interface of the software or on a screen presented to the user during the installation process. The software may generate two types of revenue: one is for the display of the advertisement and another on a “pay-per-click” basis, if the user clicks on the advertisement. are displayed while a program is running. The ads are delivered through pop-up windows or bars that appear on the program’s user interface. Adware is commonly created for computers, but may also be found on mobile devices. 
Adware uses the browser to collect your web browsing history in order to ’target’ advertisements that seem tailored to your interests. The most common reason for adware is to collect information about you for the purpose of making advertising dollars. It’s called adware when it’s on a computer, and madware when it’s on a mobile device, such as your smartphone or tablet. These ads are annoying and also interrupt your browsing. Adware can slow down your internet connection because it is downloading massive amounts of ads from the internet. Now I hope you understand about adware and looking for solutions. If it is, read till last.
Prevention For Adware…
A smart strategy for protecting your computers and mobile devices is to install an internet security suite, such as Norton 360, and keep it up to date on each of your devices To avoid adware. Also you can use a pop-up ad blocker to prevent unexpected windows from opening and should avoid clicking on ads if they are not being displayed on a trusted site. Be active in terms of wisely choosing the websites that you visit. If something seems slow or spammy, or to behave like it’s installing a program, leave the website immediately. Also, exercise caution when installing new apps.
