Normally it won't do anything, except in the case that it is also spyware, or malware. Spyware is designed to steal information from the computer, which can potentially result in the corruption of files on your computer. However, its usually nothing seriously. In the past it would mainly just mean more pop ups and annoying ads, but the modern internet browser prevents that completely.
