Number of sites increases extremely fast, and there are plenty of ads on every one of them. Ads overwhelm the pages that you visit, social networking sites where you are registered, you get spam on the e-mail and pop-ups on your favorite pages.
Nobody will be happy about it, so customers began to set extra settings in their browsers to remove the intrusive commercials. After that, adware emerges.

Malware switches browser settings to unlock hype, search engine affords unreliable results and some of the viral websites becomes the start page. The danger of such activities is that, despite adware itself does not affect, but those sites which it promotes, are captured with far more hazardous malware.

By installing one of these tools as a primary or secondary anti-viral program, you’ll immediately see that ads have become less. How to protect the system from malicious programs Firstly, don't remove the anti-viral program, it shall scan the system regularly, and threat of adware infection will lower.
Also, the unwanted programs often enter the system with files, downloaded for free. The content of the files doesn't matter.
It depends not on the type of files, just on the wish of a user to save money "no matter what". Such users, usually, pay twice.
First - for needed file, and second - for removing of the virus. If you downloaded a viral file, attached to some program, you still have a chance to avoid the installation of adware. Watch closely on the installation process, and read everything, that appears in the installation menu.
