Adware Defination:

Adware is a malicious software that downloads and displays advertisements in the form of banners or pop-ups. It can also be defined as Browser hijacker, as it’s a never-ending process whenever a user tries to open anything on the browser he would be redirected to an advertisement. Other than displaying pop-ups on the screen it can also force the user to install a third-party program which could be bundled with a malware, programmed to collect data from user’s computer like user id and password, credit card details or any other confidential files.
