What is the definition of spyware?
In computing term, spyware refers to a broad category of malicious software designed to intercept or take partial control of a computer's operation without the informed consent of that machine's owner or legitimate user.
While the term taken literally suggests software that surreptitiously monitors the user, it has come to refer more broadly to software that subverts the computer's operation for the benefit of a third party. Many freeware and adware programs fall in this category. However, it is important to note here that Ads2media's Ad Serving technology DOES NOT install any such software or programs in the user's computer that covertly gathers any personal information from the user's machine.
How can a user's computer get infected with spyware?
Most commonly, a user's computer gets infected with spyware by installing the software. Spyware can be bundled with a shareware or other downloadable software. However, it should be noted that majority of shareware and freeware applications do not come with spyware.
Ads2media DOES NOT provide or help any spyware application in any way that can potentially infect a user's computer.
