I tried it and it messed it up so I couldn't connect to AOL. I had to cilck on the restore button and undo the "immunization" part too in Spybot. I'm not big into computers so don't know enough about the lingo and what to tell Spybot to allow and what not to allow. I had to just undo the whole thing. It's all Greek to me. ha ha

What is the definition of adware?

Adware is free software that is supported by advertisements. Common adware programs are toolbars that sit on your desktop or work in conjunction with your Web browser. They include features like advanced searching of the Web or your hard drive and better organization of your bookmarks and shortcuts. Adware can also be more advanced programs such as games or utilities. They are free to use, but require you to watch advertisements as long as the programs are open. Since the ads often allow you to click to a Web site, adware typically requires an active Internet connection to run.

How To Attempt Adware Removal?

Since the internet became widely accessible to the general public, many different strategies have been employed to attempt to make a profit from freely accessible websites and software. Adware is one of these attempts.Adware is the name given to software which has advertising built into its basic structure. Exactly how the advertising is displayed varies from program to program. Most commonly a banner is displayed at all times in the user interface. Less common are full-screen advertisements which pop out of nowhere, or advertisements which open web browsers and direct the user to certain online sites.Adware also includes software which requires users to register for a certain website. The email and information provided is usually sold to marketing companies who will send advertisements to the user.Before you attempt to remove the adware from your system, understand that it is often an integral part of the program that it came with. Disabling adware can make the primary program unable to function properly. You should also be certain that it is not against the license for the program to remove the adware portion of the software.Finally, before you begin, ensure that you have backed up any and all data that is related to the program or resides in its home directory. This is in case you need to re-install the program later.To attempt to remove the adware from your system, you will need to download an anti-virus program that can scan you system for problems. There are many free programs available online such as Spybot, AdAware, or Hijack This.Install one of these programs and scan your system. Your adware program should show up during the scan. You can simply click a button and have it removed. If your adware does not come up in the list of problems from the scanner, then you may not be able to remove the adware because it could be so tightly ingrained into the software that it is indistinguishable from the main code.Next, make sure that the original program that the advertising was attached to is still functioning. If it is, then you have successfully uninstalled the adware from the primary program. If it does not work, then you will need to re-install the program from scratch.Adware serves the same purpose as commercials on television. They are an attempt to bring revenue in to the programmer who is, usually, releasing the program free of charge. While adware can be annoying, especially if poorly done, it does serve a purpose.
