Adware is software that displays or downloads advertisements. Each adware program sits in memory and randomly generates advertisements. If there is enough adware on your computer, it will take up memory and clog up the processor.
I’ve run into people who had hundreds of adware programs running on their computers. In sum, those programs slowed their computers down and drove them crazy with incessant pop-up ads.
How do you remove adware from your computer? I would recommend that you use AdAware. It is free and can be downloaded at www.lavasoft.com. Install the software, run it and use it to remove any adware that it finds.
Once the adware is removed, your PC will run more quickly and the pop-up advertisements will be reduced or totally eliminated. It’s a good first step in tuning up your PC.
