    Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated to adware.

    Adware is any software application in which advertising is displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen and sometimes through text links or in integrated search results. Adware may or may not track personal information. It may also gather information anonymously or in aggregate only. Users should check the EULA and Privacy policy to ensure if the adware on their machines conforms to their standards.
    Comment: Monitors and logs Internet activity. When executed, it copies itself to the Program Files folder as BAIDUBAR.DLL. It then registers itself as a browser helper object that will monitor the affected user's Internet activities.
