Adware is any software that causes unwanted adverts to appear when a user is using their system. Adware is also another type of malware that is causing a lot of bother and becoming a major nuisance. Pop-ups may mean the user needs to close the windows everytime they enter a new site or maybe even turning off there syste. 

Adware is generally regarded as more of a nuisance than a danger because it doesn’t damage the user’s system, it simply disrupts a user when they are using their browser.

Adware can be dealt with in a similar way to spyware and a very popular program that can be used to deal with it is Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition.
