    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: 2Search is an adware component that installs as a Browser Helper Object, tracks key words entered into search pages and displays advertisements.
    For specific search words, this adware inserts custom results (exactly 3 results) at the top of the google?s result page.
    Tracks search words entered in google and other search pages then sends them to its controlling server.
